I accidentally changed the file names of something like 100 music files to
all the same name, while organizing in Windows Explorer.

I tried the "Edit-Undo" function to no avail. Is there a way to undo this or
seek the file name history or anything? Will the system restore fix this
issue?

System restore does not manage your files.
Restore from your latest backup.
