I've updated my Ubuntu 16.04 to 17.04.
There are two kernels 4.10 and 4.8.

Before the update I was working with kernel normally as it was the default kernel, now after the update, It manages to get into the login session (GUI), but after I type in the password, the whole system freezes and doesn't respond to any key press and I am forced to power off the computer. However, I can boot into 4.8 from GRUB.

I read about fully update the OS from the lower kernel by using

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

but it didn't work for me.
After reading most users faced a driver issue, how could I know the problem for me?
