Log-in gui screen blank but usable?

Welcome :)

I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS and up to date.

I shutdown my computer with no problems last night. Today I decrypted my drive with the on-screen prompt and it followed into a solid-grey background; My 3 accounts were not displaying. Rebooting has done nothing regarding the problem. The only notable thing I've done is install drawio and thunderbird from the pop shop.

Despite this issue, I was able to press [Enter] and input my password successfully. Everything else seems to be running hunky-dory.

I read through my syslogs while scritching my chin, but I honestly have no idea what to look for this time. I scanned through my entire post-boot log entry to no avail, but I'm also a... linux noob.

Help please q.q
