    When I go to View Favorites settings I only have the Import option. There is no option listed for export at all.

    Windows is fully updated. It happens automatically, so I asume it is a flaw in the software

    Double check to see what build of Windows 10 you have installed.

    I managed to backup the favorites by copying the datastore folder, but it does not backup the favorites bar in the top only the favorites in the right side.

    Did you use the method from below? It includes both favorites and favorites bar.
