Unfortunately not. The last one is from February before upgrading to 21.3. I forgot to do the same after upgrading. :(
Log doesn't show anything unusual.

Press Alt+F2 and type nemo-desktop then hit Enter, what happens?

If this worked out, then you can add this as a new entry to Startup Applications, that should fix it.
