Windows 10: I lost all of my folders opened from the computer closing them.

I lost all of my folders opened from the computer closing them. A genius intelligent such as myself needs them; thought this could've happened to me 20 times, losing track. I've 16GB RAM, and a reader shows only 54% RAM used. Windows 10 is inferior for this.

[This below was a copy. I'd only want one of this paragraphs below. Decided to just keep one to simplify.]
This is for the operating system Windows 10, yet it's a specific problem. It could be in a general folder about folders. This could happen to other versions such as Windows 7 and more!

Folder in Favorites lost


Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.

"Recent Items" list vs Opening a folder for Recent Items


Hello all... I am not understanding how MS elected removed the list of recent files and replaced it with opening a folder to see the recent files. That is now a 2 step process because you have to close the folder. I used the "recent items" a lot and I miss it - I'm sure others do ass well.
The solutions offered here only are partial, they only add the link to the start menu / jump lists, but those still open an actual folder which then has to be closed. If you open multiple files, then you have to close multiple folders. Odd...
I'm not a programmer - but I'm thinking (hoping!) that someone around here may be knowledgeable enough to find a way to return the actual "Recent Items" list, without opening a folder.
I'm thinking I may not be alone on this one...
Thank you!!
