My iMac 2019 is doing the same. Upon reboot, the Lock Screen appears with my desktop wallpaper but as soon as I enter my user name and password, it goes black while it builds my desktop. Desktop icons, menu bar and dock come back but not the wallpaper jpeg I have set. Just black..


Until Apple fixes this, this will make work.


Open Terminal.

Write: killall Dock


And your set wallpaper will be restored.
