Macbook pro lockscreen background is black

So when i power up my macbook pro the screen where i put in my password is black. Black background with the enter password and my little picture. I swear it use to be my wallpaper a little blurred with the enter password stuff. When i wake up my mac it shows the wallpaper one. But boot up lockscreen is just a black background. idk if that a problem or not.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

You can try a safe boot to clear System cache files and try again—


SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.


Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
