Desktop folders & information disappeared

How do I find and recover the folders and desktop items that have disappeared? I seem to find most, if not all, have now migrated to "Recents" but cannot get them back to the desktop. I believe this occurred shortly after updating an app on the iMac.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Look in the System/Apple ID/iCloud preference pane and if the iCloud Drive is checked. If it is click on the Options button and see if Desktop & Documents Folders is checked.
