Actually... no. I checked. Stretch had GNOME 3.22 as the default.
Google it for yourself, if you don't believe me.

Somebody in this thread mentioned that you weren't actually
using Stretch, you were using Mint, which is based on Debian
but is not Debian. Mint had Cinnamon as its default back then.

Either there's something dramatically wrong with your hardware,
or that's GNOME trying to be helpful. Go switch to your
preferred desktop environment and see if it stops? Let us know
if it doesn't.
