iCloud desktop and download

I purchased a new Mac and set it up as a new Mac and wiped out my old Macbook pro. now when I'm in iCloud Drive on my new computer my desktop and documents that I share with all my other devices still show the desktop and downloads that were on my new computer. when I go go turn the feature on in the iCloud settings of my new computer and click done .... when I go back into that setting I notice that it is unchecked again. what can I do to set this up to work with all my derives form my new MacBook?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


Restart your Mac, then Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support.


If the issue persists, Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support, enable iCloud Desktop & Documents, and restart back into normal mode.


I'd also review Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support.
