Summary	0007336: Desktop not loading, stuck on the black-blue login background after successful login
Description	I run fully updated Kali as main OS on a ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 Intel Core i7-1165G7. Everything was fine up until today, when I booted the system after the last update. I get [ 0.410245] pci 0000:00:07.0: DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid while booting. After logging in the black-blue background stucks, hence regular desktop does not load. Desktop icons are missing. Everything else seems to be working fine, including panels. The bug itself seems to be related to the kernel and the new Intel processors: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209943 The same bug is present in log files previous to the update, but it never appeared on the boot screen before and did not cause any problems.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Boot the system 2. Log in
