Cannot start Kubuntu 18.04 desktop from WIndows 10 remote desktop

My system is Ubuntu 18.04 with Kubuntu desktop running on a Raspberry Pi Model 4, 8 GB.

Until recently all was working fine when I logged in from Windows 10 via Remote Desktop. The current issue is that after Remote Desktop accepts my login credentials, Kubuntu desktop begins to load but hangs after I enter the login credentials at its prompt. The desktop background shows, and the mouse pointer moves; however, there is no response to key or mouse clicks from the system at that point.

I am still able to login to the user account via wifi SSH to the command line.

A strange thing happens to an already open, separate command line SSH terminal after a failed login attempt to Kubuntu desktop via Remote Desktop. The SSH terminal has stopped running BASH properly. A "ls -l" produces no response other than a blank new line and no ubuntu prompt. A CTRL-C is needed to get back to the normal prompt. Switching to sh then correctly runs "ls-l".

Attempts to login in with monitor, keyboard and mouse attached directly to the RPi result in the same issue as with Remote Desktop - system hangs with desktop showing.

I have created another user as a test and can login to that user via Remote Desktop without problems. So, my novice-level conclusion is that I have done something to foul up my original user account.

I really need to get back to being able to use the original user account and appreciate any suggestions as to how to repair things.

Thanks in advance!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
