Updating removed all my recent files?
-
After updating and restarting notepad++, All of my recent files were gone. Many of which were unsaved, but important like passwords and entry keys, and I cannot find a trace of them anywhere.
Is this intended, and is there any way to restore said files?

No it is NOT intended, however with any system there can be issues.
Unfortunately you have fallen victim to using the default backup system without understanding how it actually operates. Many have suffered the same issue as you and in almost every case all we can recommend you do is read the FAQ post Periodic Backup vs AutoSave Plugin. In there is information on where any possible backup files might be.
If you are really lucky it will just be that the session.xml file which has been cleared. If so then the backup files will likely still exist. Read that post, it will explain it all.
Please also heed the recommendations made there. If you learn anything at all (even if your critical files are lost) it is that you need to set what type of backup system you will use in future and understand the processes going on.
