Desktop Files Hidden Automatically
This is driving me up the wall now after a fruitless search on google and in the community there doesn't seem to be a simple answer or fix unless i'm missing something completely obvious.
I have files on my desktop which for some unknown reason have randomly hid themselves. I can unhide them, kind of, with the CMD+Shift+. button presses BUT they remain washed out so I can click them but clearly still hidden and they revert after a few mins.
What this means is when I want to, say add an image saved from one of these folders in powerpoint, I CONSTANTLY have to use the above button commands to show the files and then click then.
Some points
- I've tried using terminal and the CH Flags command... no dice
- It's got nothing to do with iCloud whats-so-ever i've followed multiple instructions ion this one and can safely say it's not iCloud
- Tried in safe mode, same thing
- Nothing in Finder preferences changes this.
It's a constant thing that when I create a file on my desktop it hides it automatically. There MUST be a simple way to stop this as it's ridiculous. Does anyone know a simple way of fixing this? I'm not downloading a third party app as that shouldn't be the solution to a MacOs issue.
