Can you try this... (it's recommended, not to do this as root)

startx

Assuming that works, and your desktop Xwindows comes up. Try this...

systemctl set-default graphical.target

reboot.

Are there any errors in your Xorg.log?

That log can be found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

When you type startx what output does the terminal return?

It mentions "server" a few times. Most servers are headless that is, they don't have a GUI. Is xorg actually installed?

Debian 10 Stable (Buster release) poorly supports third generation Ryzen, in addition of not having the newer versions of the nvidia drivers required for the gtx 1660 series and rtx 2000 series cards.
Off topic question but if I may ask, why are you using Debian on relatively new hardware?

The output from startx says:
Unable to connect to x server: connection refused.
Furthermore, the Xorg.log confirms 2 things.

1. Failed to assign any connected display devices to x screen and:

2. Screens found but none have a usable configuration.

To see if you have x11 installed, simply run this command from a terminal:
dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-core

How to check if the X11 display manager is installed?

I recently had some problems on sharing the screen on zoom, and I found out that disabling Wayland does the trick. It worked fine for my computer, but when I tried doing this on another computer, ...

Install the package nvidia-detect. Then run it as normal user, what does it return? Do you really need the nvidia driver, otherwise you could try the nouveau driver.

So you have dual graphics in your pc?

In other words you have a nVidia gpu and an Intel gpu?
