Windows 10: Document Recovery

Hello, I am trying to recover a document. Unfortunately, I have not worked on this document in a little while, so it is not in my most recent section. It was a precious story I was writing and I wanted to finally get back to it. I do not remember the file name but I believe it was lost after an update of my Windows 10. I have do not have it stored anywhere else. Is there any way to get it back?
