Five Little squares That Appear On My Screen

If you mean the "software update" app. Yes, several times. If updating the "System" means something else then I don't know.
Ok-
IS this what your seeing on your screen?

To find out what desktop environment your running run this in the terminal.

$DESKTOP_SESSION
 
I tried to do a screen shot. No luck. So I'm typing it.

In the terminal after the $ I typed $DESKTOP_SESSION and just DESKTOP_SESSION. It said command not found.

You have Gnome 3.34.1-
 
Is the picture that I posted in post # 21 the squares that your seeing?
 
That's it.

What is Gnome 3.34.1-?
If that's the picture that your seeing that's the splash screen that you get while Ubuntu is booting up.
I can help you to decress the boot time later.

Gnome is the desktop environment. Also known as an gui.
 
For what it's worth I have the same 5 little squares while Linux Mint is booting up.
Once the squares fill up with color twice that I get my log in screen.

Are you getting your log in screen after the little squares stop filling up?
