Terminal instead of welcome window

I have a problem that instead of the usual password entry window, a console appeared with a login and password.
I can not figure out how to return everything back, it looks like grub is broken.
I will be grateful for help.

Check out these two links:

A sudo systemctl enable --now lightdm.serviceor sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service, depending on your flavor of Garuda, should solve it.

Hi there, have a look at

First of all, login using your username and password.

As you are using KDE, just use command

sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service

And you should get the login screen now.
