I had the same problem, right after the Anniversary push. I started with the procedure involving the Advanced Performance Options tab in System Properties, but because my checkbox was already checked, as was the case with so many others, I simply changed the radio button from "Let Windows choose..." to "Adjust for best appearance." All that did was check the remaining two boxes, for "Save taskbar..." and "Show shadows..." Nevertheless, that must have changed something else in the registry because I hibernated and resumed, which would normally dump me back at the black screen (Can someone with the problem verify that hibernate/resume duplicates the problem?), and I was, instead, shown the proper background.
