Yes, it's possible, e.g. in case there was a conflict and APT decided it 
should remove remove your Desktop Environment to resolve the conflict. 

This should be visible in the logs or just try running:

    dpkg -l '*dm'

Alternatively (and more likely) Xorg is failing to start for some

Anything interesting in the output of `journalctl -ab`, 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log?
