Black screen with cursor when Shut Down or Restart after CPU upgrade

I recently upgraded my CPU from an i5-12400F to a i5-13600k. Everything is working perfectly, except when I try to shut down or restart the system, the screen just becomes black with the cursor still visible. I have left it for about 10 minutes and nothing changed. When I use the power button on the PC, it shuts down normally. I don’t know if this could have anything to do with it, but I noticed that on startup the screen turns black for a second before turning back on, and I have to manually click into the box to type my password, neither of which was the case before. If I remember correctly, I also installed a major update recently so that might have something to do with it, but I may be mistaken. How can I fix this?

Figured it out, it is due to the recent update, you have to go into settings, desktop session and select start with an empty session.
