Applications folder does not appear in the Finder window

Hello AppleUserGuy10,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you're unable to see your Applications folder in your Finder Sidebar. Let's try these steps.

1. Uncheck the Applications box in Sidebar settings.
2. Restart your Mac.
3. Once logged back in, recheck the Applications box.

If that doesn't fix the issue, let's try again in safe mode. This can often rule out third party applications and only loads necessary macOS functions to allow you to troubleshoot further. Here is how.

We hope this helps.
