Try looking here...
System Settings->Appearance->Liquid Glass->adjust slider to taste.
or here...
System Settings->Accessibility->Display->adjust display contrast to taste.
The contrast sider is not gone. It is in the same place it was before the update. If it’s not showing try restarting your MBA in Safe Mode.

Excellent job troubleshooting this!
A software update is a common fix.

Thanks for commenting. The mac doesn't have a Liquid glass setting, and the display for contrast slider is gone...
