Changing (and semi-missing) Sidebar

My machine this morning has a sidebar with most of my favorite folders missing. Like not in the sidebar. 2nd time in a month. Since no restoration procedure has been posted in this community in the last year, can there be an explanation for _what_ caused it? It's not a case of turning the 'favorites' on or off in the sidebar -- I've done that, but the favorites are simply missing what I usually keep there.

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

Start with this...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Any change?
