Images on my desktop Ventura OS keep disappearing

I have a MacBook Air 2020 that has two items on the desktop: a folder of the pictures I imported from my iPhone 12 and my hard drive. I’ve been on Macs since 1988 and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. If I tap the desktop with my cursor the two images show up but if I tap the desktop with my cursor again, both images disappear. I’ve looked in all the settings that I can find including one that says to leave folders on the desktop, which I checked. But yet no matter what’s on my desktop if I tap the desktop they disappear and then I tap it again and they reappear. Can someone please help me with this?

Thank you!

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Randell, you are amazing! Mission Control must’ve been turned on by default because I’ve never heard of either one of those things. I turned it off and instantly my two desktop images showed up! Thank you very much! This is my first apple/Mac laptop since the 1990s and I’ll be honest, I’m not as comfortable on a laptop as I am on a desktop. My other computers are iMacs and I used to have a G4 way back in the day. Again, thanks a bunch… I really appreciate your help!! 👍🏼

Do you have Mission Control enabled possibly? Or Spaces enabled? If you're not sure you can access System Settings then type those names in the search box and check to see if you have them on.
