hello,
I think the critical part is the network driver.
In fact:

- boot safe mode --> ok
- boot safe mode with network --> ko
- boot safe mode, then disable virtio network adapter and reboot in
normal mode --> ok

see here screenshot with network adapter disabled:

any way to revert only the network driver? Or do you have another one to test?

BTW: I can see that balloon service is configured as automatic but is
not started....
In event viewer I see that there is an error message at start of system with
Servizio BalloonService bloccato in partenza.
(blocked at start)
I don't know if this depends on network not being active....
I don't find similar messages the days before today... and I don't
know if this service has to be always active
