Ubuntu 19.10 stuck at logo splash screen after update and recovery-mode also not working

I had Ubuntu 19.04 in my MSI GL63 and I switched to Intel from Nvidia server settings for battery saving.

Everything was working fine until I decided to switch it back to NVIDIA. It asked me to reboot my system after which I encountered a black screen right after login.

I tried many fixes including purging all Nvidia related files and reinstalling the drivers and system upgrades but nothing worked. I found out the recommended driver by sudo ubuntu-drivers devices after which I installed using sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-440. Also tried sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Ubuntu 19.10 had been released and I decided to upgrade from TTY by CTRL+ALT+F2 hoping it would work. But now I don't even reach the login screen and it is stuck at the Ububtu logo with 5 dots.

I tried running recovery mode but only command line root access works. I even uncommented WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf in vi editor. I also tried to remove Nvidia drivers by sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* I also edited the GRUB file by adding nomodeset and nomodeset=0 but nothing works.

I have a dual booted system with Windows 10 Pro.

GPU - NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050

In the GRUB file replace $vt_handoff with nouveau.modeset=0, that worked for me whereas adding nomodeset=0 did not.
