Things you could try:

- Is systemd set to boot into graphical mode?
$ systemctl get-default
graphical.target

If you get an other output run:
# systemctl set-default graphical.target


- Reconfigure gdm3 and make sure gdm is the default display manager
# dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
/usr/sbin/gdm3
