I don't know if you guys are affected by this, I ran into it on Zorin 9 and have had to deal with it 3x on Zorin 12 already, however luckily I think I found a partial way around it:-
Ubuntu Login Loop
Specifically this part:-
When your at the Login screen press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login at the Terminal prompt.
The only problem is you will lose your immediate desktop settings (favorites and theme settings) which is a slight annoyance but you will get back into the desktop relatively easily.
Of course the reasons you hit the issue maybe entirely different then there are other possible fixes like driver re-installation etc, this workaround does work on NVidia 375 proprietary drivers (latest at this time)

Specifically this part:-
If you're not thrown back to the login screen, but you get to see only your background, force it to recreate your user settings (saving a backup):
sudo mv ~/.config/dconf/user ~/.config/dconf/user.old
Then, restart lightdm:
sudo service lightdm restart
