Windows 10: Paint3D over written files

I was drawing on 3D paint last night and saved before I closed the app but when I went to open my previous project it wasn't there so looked for what I mistakenly thought was the recovery option titled "save" when I clicked it it opened file manger and I saw my artwork so I clicked it then hit save beside the file nameI thought I had just forgotten to save it and this would restore it like a back up function however it then pulled up a window that said "this file name of file already exists. Would you like to replace it?" I had seen this before when doing other projects and it would just update the file but when I opened it the page was blank. I realise now that I had overwritten my save and the "save" option was refering to the blank project that opens by default when one opens the app and that is why the new version underfilename is empty. But I worked very hard on it and I am very sad that my work was potentially for nothing, is there a way to restore it? I have already used RECUVR and searched my trash bin and tried the "history" option in file manager but all for nought. Please get back to me as soon as possible, a distressed artist.

Paint3D export problems and not opening files from File Explorer

HI AD1999,

Corrupted system files is one of the possible reasons why you are having issues exporting files using Paint3D and opening files using the File Explorer on with your Windows 10 computer. We suggest that you run the System File Checker tool and
the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool to scan and correct any issues. System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in tool in the operating system. SFC checks for system file corruption. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
is a command-line tool that can be used to service a Windows image or to prepare a Windows Preinstallation Environment image.

Kindly follow the steps in this article posted by ZigZag3143 (MS-MVP) to perform SFC and DISM:
