Not that this should have any bearing, are these two separate computers or dual boot.
Johnny,
The other possibility is policy not configured and the transparency turned off, which also eliminates the blurred logon screen.😊
Build 21277 is out as an Optional Update

On your IB could you try Enabling the policy and then check the registry after a reboot.
After that set it back to "Not configured" and see if anything changes.
I compared 20277, 21277 and 19042.685 and they all behave the same way on this "Acrylic" stuff.
When the policy is set to "Not Configured" the System key disappears completely.
Enabled:
Not Configured:

Drew - 810 Reputation points2020-12-19T21:06:33+00:00 Sure, why not, eh? (So) Did that & nothing or certainly, nothing new or different. In other words, found nothing. And, yes, I did wait until it was finished searching 😉 They mystery remains. I haven't cared much... it made no sense, but they were both NOT blurred and I was/have been happy 😂. Ain't broke, don't fix it... can't explain it, don't try 😂
Cheers,
Drew

2020-12-19T20:52:34+00:00 Very unusual, no explanation. Not aware of any other location in registry that could result in this. I tend to total clean install every IB and have always had to disable blur. Have never seen a build without since introduced.
Perhaps run a search in registry on your IB for "DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon". Curious if there could possibly be another location, a backup of this key.
