    Hi. I need help with word. Autosave continues to show off whatever I did. I even reinstalled the Microsoft. Along with name on the document come compatibility mode,I corrected and still autosave is off. The new word documents open same with autosave off.

    Word Autosaved files disappear

    I’m on Windows 10. I have a Word .docx file which I use to type drafts for various purposes (posting on Forums, sending e-mails, personal notes, etc). It is not the first time that this file disappears, with a message saying the file to which the shortcut points can no longer be found. I’have never moved this file or deleted it.! By the way, this file shows as AUTOSAVED in the list of Word .docx files when I open Word, but cannot be opened. I guess thhis may have something to do with the AUTOSAVED feature, which is a real nuisance. It already messed me up previously. While does this file disappear? I ran a search without finding it. Thanks

    I can't open Autosave in word.

    Autosave not properly working for a Word document on OneDrive

    I want to verify something:
    If you right-click the affected Word file where AutoSave keeps turning off, and select Properties, what does it list as the location of the file?
