So, last week I upgraded to macOS Monterey and I noticed that every time a boot my computer, the wallpaper takes a couple of seconds to load; it's black for 1 to 2 seconds; the menus and dock are there except the wallpaper. It's not a big deal but kinda annoying, because the previous OS doesn't have this kind of issue.
Any solution?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Try Safe Mode:
Log in using Safe Mode for 30 seconds, and then restart the Mac, logging in as normal. To boot into Safe Mode, hold down the shift key. Caches would be reset, perhaps being the culprit here.

Single Out this User & Reinstall the macOS:
Try creating a new user, a logging in to is, and then seeing if you still get this error. If not, then it is an issue with the current user. If so, then it is likely an issue with the entire macOS(in which case you’d back up your Mac, and then reinstall the macOS. Nothing would be deleted. It’s just that damaged and missing system files would be replaced and reinstalled, respectively).

You are welcome.
Clearing the caches is what the "forgot" issue fixes.

So, I slept for about 4hrs and my MacBook was off during that time; then as I woke up, I turn my laptop on and the issue is still present.
