Finder side Window not showing list

What am I doing wrong? I can't get my Finder Window to list all the locations that used to be there. This is an extra step I don't want. How do I fix this? I thought things were supposed to improve with Catalina, but it seems just more complicated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Catalina 10.15.4 update broke locations in finder sidebar After the Catalina 10.15.4 update, I no longer see ANY locations in the Finder sidebar. Changing the Finder preferences does not affect the locations. I see no hard drives, iOS devices, etc. See pic. Anyone figure out how to fix this?

Finder windows with searches not shown at finder icon window list Hi, I do not know if it is a bug or feature... Running Catalina 10.15.4 in an iMac Retina If I have several finder windows (with file listings) open, they all show up when I right click the Finder dock icon in the top open window list. As it should be. But if I make a search in one finder windows - either on a local drive or a remote, mounted volume - that file windows is deleted from that open windows list. After I close the search, that file window reappears in the open window list. Is that as it should be? regards, Claus Bitten

What has happened to my Side Bar in Finder? All of a sudden since I turned my MacBook Pro on, the Side Bar in the "Finder" has changed and it does not list where I am keeping my files (Airdrops, Desktop, Downloads, Documents, etc.) It just shows location " My MacBook Pro". When I go into "Preferences" it shows all the listings to be used in sidebar. How could this have happened since I closed it down? How can I get this back to my original sidebar?

Thanks. I just figured it out after playing with it for a while, that I had to click on "Favorites" and "Show". <eye roll> Don't know why they disappeared to begin with. I think I need some lessons.
