How do I stop iCloud from uploading files to my Desktop post update?

After updating my Mac book all my files from ICloud showed up on my desktop? How to turn this off for the next update?

Verify your iCloud Drive option is enabled...

Set up iCloud Drive



The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support


The second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
