Okay, this may do to a newer kernel if I understand correct it worked before updating the system. Can you please try boot in a previous kernel (5.11.xx).
See how: [HOW TO] set an older kernel to default boot
so reinstall zorin from scratch?
Not at current time, the older kernel should still be there on your system, you just need to boot into it.
i am sorry but i cant seem to understand how to set the older kernel as default
Looks correctly set.
now i restart> go into bios settings> turn off safeboot> boot again?
Yes. Did you remember to save it the changes? When the motherboard splash appears hit [esc] or [tab] like a machinegun.
whats the motherboard splash? like the zorin symbol underneath my company symbol?
When the brand of you motherboard appears (mine is Asus) and it says press [F8] for boot options etc.
oh for me it is just plain omen symbol it doesnt say anything else but i will try i will keep in contact on my phone forum website

Did you run
sudo update-grub
I'm not sure, something went wrong, it should take you to kernel option screen instead.
i'm no expert on grub field. Try reboot and push the other button [esc] instead of [tab] or vice versa.
i did
should i make a fresh install?
While waiting for @Aravisian , let's try something else.
Lets try with a newer kernel and see if it works;
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline -y
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
First try with kernel 5.15
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-5.15
or the latest
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-5.16
I think the outcome would be the same, but go ahead. It doesn't take long.
if its the same then i wont rn
