My computer shut down all pages I had open in Incognito Mode without my prompting. I believe because I had too many windows open at the same time.
Is there a way to find the windows I had open in that Incognito Mode before the computer closed it all down?

Use IPConfgi DisplayDNS
A PC keeps a list of all urls visited, even those visited in Incognito modes. This is not a bug. Just like an ISP records all your browsing history, so does your PC.
How to Retrieve Your Browsing History
The following command not only works for Google incognito but also for all private browsers such as InPrivate browsing in IE and privatewindow in Firefox.
On Windows:
Open RUN by pressing WIN + R (on your windows pc)
Type CMD and press ok
Type the following
ipconfig/displaydnsthen press enter.
Find Out Which Sites Users Have Accessed In Private Browsing Modes
Private browsing is a relative new feature that allows users to hide
their web activities. The mode blocks that browsing session data os
stored in the browser or on the computer's hard drive. This for
instance means that no data is written to the cache or the cookie
storage.
Users naturally feel safer using that mode, but that should not be the
case. Why? Because there are means to find out which sites have been
accessed in private browsing mode locally.
You see, one feature of the Windows operating system is a DNS cache,
that stores domain name and IP links. Without going into to much
details, the DNS cache records information about every website that
the user opens in a web browser in Windows.
Curious Windows users just need to list the contents of the DNS cache
to find out what websites a user has been visiting in private browsing
mode. It may require some additional comparison to find the private
browsing mode websites, but that requires just some manual work and
can be neglected.

You could also check the gateway/firewall logs, if you [or your IT department <gulp>] have access.

hehe, yup. I can track every user & where they've been for the past 6 months [I don't, but I could - the information is available to me in the gateway logs, even if they use our VPN.]

By design of Incognito, there is NO (repeat: NO) way to "find the windows I had open in that Incognito Mode before the computer closed it all down" (as in your question).
And if anybody knows some sort of work around for it, then that is to be considered as a bug ... which has become a feature.
