I'm sorry that you've lost so much work. Although it's kind of irresponsible to leave unsaved work open overnight. Perhaps you could look into applications that have an autosave feature? Alternativly if your workflow permits it do your work on the cloud?
I do my actual work in the cloud. But when I want to just jut down quick notes I open a Notepad window and write them there. Usually it's something I need to remember for just a few hours later. Sometimes it's something I'll be expanding on somewhere permanent later on. It's just the most handy place to write something down quickly. Sometimes I have one such window open, sometimes I end up with 6. I just so happened that night I had some more important notes that I didn't transfer yet. I've got into the habit of saving them now just in case, so I have tons of small text files that I'll probably forget about.
Why are people down voting you
Because we're not looking to change our behavior we're criticizing the decisions made by those that own the OS.
To me, the response comes off as completely missing the point, likely intentionally, and blatantly ignoring the meaning of the person they're responding to.
It's like saying, I wish my favorite show wasn't cancelled and someone replying with why don't you just have a different favorite show?
