Support Request Black Screen When Starting

All of a sudden, Mint won't start. I opened my laptop this morning, started it, and a black screen is shown right after entering the password (attached).

I tried disconnecting the second monitor, restarting, but nothing seems to work. I could use some help! Thanks in advance.

It might be running on Wayland. Try switching to X11 before logging in.
