Desktop function not working in Finder MacOS 10.13.6
I have a client with a MacBook Air 2011 on the latest version of MacOS 10.13 (as high as they can upgrade that model of MacBook.)
The Finder is working but the desktop function is broken. Nothing shows up on the desktop even though we can see a list of documents there whenever we open a Finder window.
Other user accounts on this computer are unaffected - Finder and desktop work correctly.
It's as if whatever invisible flag on the Desktop folder of this user account which makes the files display on the desktop has been corrupted.
Any ideas on how to fix?
I saw the same topic in a thread here from 2018 but no resolution.
