Quicktime player is in iCloud and how do I get it back?

Although the application "QuickTime player" (v10.4) is in my Applications folder, when launched it launches iCloud and in that window it is an empty folder titled "QuickTime Player - iCloud."

This is too weird. I want the actual player to work on my desktop! Why is this happening and how do I get it to operate like a normal application on the desktop?

I seem to have solved it.

System preferences >iCloud> iCloud Drive>Options

I disabled QuickTime Player in the list of iCloud data that appears. By doing this, QuickTime Player in my applications folder became "normal" again, and launched correctly on the desktop.
