Failure to boot into Graphics mode

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’m using TW 6.18.9.1 on a legacy laptop which when installed worked until the system updated following which it will only boot into txt mode. Any attempt to switch into graphics mode fails, including removing and reinstalling the nvidia graphics software. The output from inxi is given below.
CPU: quad core Intel core i7-3740QM (-MT MCP-) speed 1200/1200/3700 MHz
Kernel 6.18.9-1-default x86_64 Up 0h 10min Mem: 680.7 Mib/15.51 Gib (4.3%)
Storage 3.7Tib (0.9% used) Procs 188 Shell Bash inxi 3.3.40

Whilst I’ve used Unix I’m not an expert being an end user not Admin, so any help would be appreciated.

Show output from
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/default.target
inxi -F

4

Ls -l output link points to /use/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
