Black Screen After Update - GUI Fails to Load, SSH/CLI Access is OK

Hello everyone,
I’m facing a critical issue after a recent update and would be grateful for your help.
The Problem:
After running a full system update on Pop!_OS [22.04 LTS], my machine no longer boots into the graphical desktop. I’m met with a persistent black screen (with a blinking cursor). However, the underlying system is running fine, as I have full access via SSH.
What I’ve Tried So Far:
I have already attempted several troubleshooting steps, including:

  • [Reinstalling my NVIDIA/AMD graphics drivers]
  • [e.g., Checking journalctl -b -1 for critical errors]
  • [e.g., Booting with an older kernel from the boot menu]
    Unfortunately, none of these actions have resolved the issue.
    System Information:
  • OS: Pop!_OS
  • Graphics: [Your GPU, e.g., NVIDIA RTX 5060]
    This is my main work computer, so any help in diagnosing the next steps would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!
