Recent update has removed the files I had open.

Is there a menu choice for open recent?

Am I right in assuming you had files open before, then upgraded to a newer version of Notepad++, then when you re-launches, your session was no longer active, and you are trying to re-open those files?
Near the end of the File menu, there is usually a section that includes the names of recent files; there are also entries such as “Restore Recent Closed File” and “Open All Recent Files”. One of these might help. Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History will affect how those are displayed. But I don’t know, especially if you updated to v7.6, whether NPP will properly track sessions and Recent Files from the old revision to the new.
I hope you’re talking about named and saved files, not the unnamed files “new #”. If you mean an unsaved file, then it might be in
%AppData%\Notepad++\backup(if you’re on a Notepad++ version before 7.6), or it might be somewhere else (on v7.6: somewhere like%LocalAppData%\Notepad++\backup, if I’m remembering the current state of the new hierarchy correctly; sorry for the uncertainty, I’m waiting until the new plugins locations have stabilized before I upgrade beyond my v7.5.8, so I am not an expert on all the settings locations on the newest. If you upgraded from pre-7.6 to 7.6, you might have to check in the old location rather than the new, because 7.6 is looking in new location, but 7.5.x had stored it in the old.) -

We are probably NOT talking about that, because people haven’t yet learned (and won’t) that you shouldn’t fly that way…

Yes, but I don’t believe these handle unnamed “new #” files…

+1 (or more). For myself, I’ll probably give it 3-6 months beyond the point where we don’t see half-a-dozen-plus new postings here concerning the new state of plugins (which are an instant click-thru-to-next-posting for me, BTW). :-)
