iCloud Drive works fine on my Windows 10 box with the latest updates as does Files on my iPhones with the latest iOS.
What's up with that? How do I fix it? Restarting doesn't seem to help.

Thank you for that Reply.
I had previously unchecked all iCloud services except Desktop and Downloads. I tried unchecking that too, but it warned that all documents stored on iCloud would be removed from this Mac. So I did the sensible thing and chickened out. iCloud remained stuck uploading files.

I don't recall what messages came up when I signed out, but when I signed back in, it asked if I wanted to add some of the iCloud services I previously unchecked. That seemed to work.
Then horror of horrors -- all my Desktop files were removed from the local Desktop!. Turns out they were in my home folder in a folder named "iCloud Drive (Archive)" along with my Documents folder and several other folders.
My iCloud Drive is now working as expected.

It helped me when it stuck many times during upload of many photos back from timecapsule to icloud
(thousand files, include live photo also).
I found it by myself :)
