Ubuntu 22.04.3 automatic downloads before log-in has a chance to cause unforeseen bugs?

Edit: The point of the post I suppose is to let devs know if a similar chain of events (starting downloads before log-in has happened) has the potential to cause issues. As for my personal issue I will reinstall Ubuntu and I guess I was lucky I didn't have anything important yet saved on the disks.

So I'm dual booting and I notice sometimes when I accidentally start Ubuntu (let startup process run itself) that even before I have logged in there's some downloads etc. happening in the background in the login screen.

Sometimes when I realize I accidentally started Ubuntu I just restart and navigate to Windows again. A) will this restarting potentially cause errors in the Ubuntu update process?

After the above had happened a few times, I manually started the update process inside the operating system, having logged in and all that.

That is when I got (picture 1 Started Fingerprint Authentication ..Daemon? perhaps) happen and it stayed like this for 2-3min until I decided to push restart.

After restarting I'm stuck in

Is it likely something broke? I can't remember login details so is reinstall/repair-install the only viable solution here or is there a magic button etc. that will help me proceed? Or any other way I could maybe try fix this issue ?

Thank you for the suggestion @user535733 however I think instead of spending hours learning/navigating GRUB menu which I will forget a few days after reading about it all, I will just instead plug in a USB, reinstall the Ubuntu and be done with it.

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.
