Desktop files
My files disappeared from my desktop. How do I get them back? I have not done any updates or deleted anything. They are in the cloud, but not where I want them!

It sounds like an icloud setting problem. Go into System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud Drive, --click on the Options... button to the right. Make sure that Desktop & Documents Folders is checkmarked.
If it is, please try unchecking it, give it a moment and re-check it to turn it back on. Hopefully this would reset the files showing on your Desktop.

Thank you! It's all back up there. It was unchecked in preferences, not sure why, I never go in there!
