Windows 10: Hide and Seek for files

As a professional with decades of experience, I have working patterns that work for me. For example. I like to keep files in documents, organized under file folders as needed, or if it's a one off, just in documents. Windows likes to hide them. It moves them to different places. It won't display more than 6 files in documents without asking the chilling question, do you want to recover deleted files? Sometimes they have gone to one drive, sometimes I have to search THIS PC. Well of course it's on this PC you freaking computer, that's where I do my work. It can take many minutes to find where your file has gone, especially if you last accessed it 2 months ago. My question is ****? Can you not leave them where I put them. Are you a puppy?
