Hello DMtn,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We've reviewed your question and it looks like you are missing your Mac desktop icons. It's understandable that you'd want this resolved, so allow us to assist with that. Please start by taking a look here: Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive. Check the section titled “Turn off Desktop and Documents” and see if toggling that option returns your file icons.


If you have follow-up questions, please let us know. We're here for you. Have a fantastic day!
