My Finder sidebar frequently stops displaying Desktop as an option. If I go to the settings and reselect it, the Desktop shows up for a while then disappears again.
I also posted another new, strange event - my trackpad has started clicking suddenly, and I do not have a settings option to quiet it. I mention this wondering if I have some kind of hardware issue?

Thanks. The Desktop option in Finder just occasionally becomes unchecked. I recheck it, and it's okay until it again self unchecks. Apple Support didn't have any ideas, and I didn't press them because I was much more concerned about the trackpad noise.
See my update a few minutes ago about the trackpad problem.
Thanks, but it is set to Desktop. When Desktop disappears from the sidebar, new Finder windows still start with Desktop, but when I go to another folder, then want to return to Desktop, not having it in the sidebar is annoying. Interestingly, it's only done it one time since I posted, and I am on this thing several hours a day editing photos.
Hi jedvoracek,
Let's also check under Finder > Settings > General. Which is selected for New Finder windows show? If you select Desktop there, does that help with this issue?
Take care.
Finder>Settings>Sidebar keeps losing Desktop selected
