Thanks for the update. I read through the page you recommend. This seems risky to me. I have -extra package installed. I don't know what will happen to my system if I uninstall them. Installing a kernel manually is not in my comfort zone. I prefer to automatically boot on the old one that risk to crash my whole system.
However, the workaround you proposed (sudo apt install --install- recommends xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04), works perfectly and I now have a more recent kernel that boot. I still don't understand why the previous one freezed but since it was with an older version of the kernel this was later corrected.

First boot, freeze on desktop with clock freezed (seconds don't increment) Second boot, Freeze during boot process 3rd boot, freezed even earlier in the boot process. Each time I had to manually shutdown my computer by pressing the power button. If I choose the previous kernel version linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic, it works just fine. Note that I gathered option using ubuntu-bug linux, but obviously, it's with the previous linux kernel, the one that works. So everything should be accurate BUT the kernel version.
