I went to System Settings/iCloud/iCloud Drive then, there are two options:

iCloud Drive "Keep your files in sync..." Then, I turned this option OFF despite the warning.

Desktop & Documents Folders "Keep your Desktop..." Then I turned this option OFF despite the warning.

Clicked DONE.

Then, I returned to those two settings and turned them both ON.

Within seconds, my desktop was back in sync without being stuck.
