macOS Monterey Missing Metadata

The “More Info” section of metadata of all the files in my Downloads folder sometimes disappears. In this example, it should contain the web address from where it was downloaded:

How do I get it back?

Document folder empties after 12.7 Monterey update Yesterday my Mac desktop auto-updated to Monterey 12.7. Now when I go to Finder, my Documents folder is totally empty when I access it via Home or when I access it via iCloud. I had all my docs organized by subject folders inside Documents. It looks like all the documents ended up in Recents but there's no way for me to know for sure. In Finder, if I search on a Documents Folder name, the named folder comes up along with any documents including those search words. Is there any way I can get all my Document folders back in Finder under Documents where they were before Monterey update?

IMac Monterey Updated to Monterey on my newish iMac. Junk folder appears to have disappeared. Apparently similar problems were encountered with Big Sur which were solved by hovering over the favourites icon but that doesn't appear to work with Monterey. Any ideas please?
