I want to add further details here. I have GeForce GTX 550 Ti card. When I was in 19.04, there was no such issue. After upgrading to 19.10 I started facing this auto login issue. No version of nvidia driver can solves this (both older or newer).
When I moved to Nouveau driver, this particular autologin issue disappears, but sometimes my system freezes totally. I mean I can't even access keyboard or mouse. I have to do hard reboot. This freezing issue is intermittent and was not there when I was on 19.04. Not sure if this issue is related or not, but want to put my 2 cents here if it helps. On a separate note, I never have experienced a ubuntu upgrade going smoothly. Everytime there are some glitches and OS slows down a bit after every upgrade. It is very annoying for a daily driver setup like mine. I mean it is okay when you are using it occasionally for fun, but for daily driver fresh install is not an option every time. There are visible differences between fresh install and upgrade. Whenever a new release comes I have a dilemma, should I upgrade or ignore? If I upgrade God knows what will break? This situation never improves. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845801 Title: [nvidia] Automatic login fails and then all subsequent logins fail.

After boot, I'm shown the GDM login screen (which I shouldn't; I have auto login enabled), and logging in just takes me back to the same user selection screen even though the password is correct. If I switch to a TTY and run `sudo pkill gnome-session-binary`, logging in through GDM starts working again. I should add that the do-release-upgrade was rocky; I did it in a terminal from within gnome, went away for a while, and when I returned, I just saw an Ubuntu 19.10 in a TTY. I was able to do `sudo dpkg --configure -a` and complete the upgrade, but I don't know if something's still messed up due to that.
