Windows 10: I can't find the Sticky Notes back up files on my computer!

I don't know if there was a problem with the setup of my sticky notes before, but I had been using them for years without any problems. Then, last week, there was an update for my computer and I couldn't even get Sticky Notes to open up.

I figured out how to reset it, but after that, it wanted me to log in. I've tried every email address I ever could have used (even going back to my yahoo email from the 90s) and NOTHING is bringing up my notes!

I've read online to look for the "stickynotes.snt" file, but I'm not having any luck with that either.
