How do I do to keep my desktop icons to disappear?

My desktop icons keep disappearing after turn off or sleep. The desktop are sync with iCloud drive. I can turn on the icons by going to ID Apple - iCloud Drive options - select Folders documents and Desktop, but it keep happening over and over again. It's annoying.


I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 2012) - macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (the problem started after i update the system to Catalina. I doubt that my mac support further macOS)

Earlier Mac models
