restoring folders to MacMini's desktop.

Several important files do appear in my desktop folder but don't appear on the desktop itself. How do I restore them so they're once again visible on the open desktop? Running MacOS 12 on a MacMini.

Mac mini, macOS 12.7

Just asking, have you perhaps ebabled iCloud Drive???


In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.


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


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
