I'm also affected by that.
ASUS FX553VD-DM160
Core i7 7700 HQ Gtx 1050 Mint 18.2
My solution is that ; don't install Nvidia prop drivers immediately.
First ; start using MDM instead of Lightdm. Because workaround above is not working with it and you cannot even enter TTY screen.
Then install Nvidia drivers.
Change your gpu by using terminal with these commands:
sudo prime-select intel
or
sudo prime-select nvidia
and then
sudo reboot
Lightdm maintainers are not seemed interested so use MDM instead.
