Windows 10: Excel 2016 Crashed on Win 10. Files did not autorecover automatically. Where might the...

HI,


I am running Excel 2016 64bit on a Windows 10. Excel turned white and froze. I selected the re-start option. Excel shut down and opened up but there were no autosaved files. All the files I was working on showed Original and the last time I saved. I looked in the normal autorecover location and there was no files there.


I found some TMP files that might be what I am looking for C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp but I do not know how to open them to recover.


I also found some oprocsessid.dat files right around the time of the crash but I don't know what those are.


is there anywhere else I could look to find the auto recover file.

:)

 

Save AutoRecover doesn't work in Office 365 ProPlus


Hi guys,

I have Office 365 ProPlus installed on Windows 10.
I tested AutoSave and AutoRecovery features today with the following settings by default.
Save AutoRecover information - Every 10 minutes.
Keep the last AutoRecovered version if I close without saving - Ticked.
AutoRecover file location: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel.

I opened an Excel spreadsheet, made a few changes and waited for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes no folder was created under C:\Users\\AppDatat\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel.
Then I cold rebooted my computer and found nothing under C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\Unsaved Files.

If that looks like AutoRecover feature doesn't work for my Excel (and possibly for the whole Office suite) could you please advise what could\should be done to resolve this issue.

Regards

Excel 2016 and O365 Excel file contents do not index when saving to a network drive

Hello Mala.S

I have tried that as well.

The only option left is to check on the Network drive and see if the file type 2016 excel / 2016 excel macro enabled is on the list of files to be indexed.

What is the file type extension that I should be checking for or adding to the list?

the Network drive might be older and may not have the file type on the list.



from the property list this is the content type of the file..

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12

Thank you.
