This is caused by an update as suspected. The effect is called Acrylic Background and should work as I said above. It is intended to clear the screen to allow an unobstructed view of the password box, user selection etc.
It was caused some annoyance so you are not alone. MS might provide a user friendly fix sometime but in the meantime there are two fixes available.
1. Use of the Registry editor - Only for the brave, details on MS website.
1. Settings - Personalisation - Colours - Transparency Effects - set to 'off'. The downside of this is that it works across the whole system and not just the log on screen.
