Move files off desktop (or off of/out of iCloud area) waiting to upload then replace.
My Scenario: File folder located on Desktop stuck in 'waiting to upload' status is moved to removable drive. Delete folder waiting to upload off Desktop. Them move folder back from removable drive to Desktop. Folder then uploaded. That has solved my issue for the moment. Hope it helps.
