    NordVPN Blocking Excel's Autosave


    This issue I've only noticed in the last day or so. If I switch CyberSec on, the 'Internet' icon in the system tray changes from the normal one to a globe which says no internet connection...although everything internet-wise functions perfectly except Excel's Autosave and Canary Edge account syncing. (Excel refuses to download files previously uploaded to OneDrive)Any suggestions? I'm quite happy for CyberSec to remain off, but I think it offers more protection on!

    :)

    Autosave in Excel Mobile (WM5)

    Point taken. I still think it's ridiculous that there isn't an autosave feature embedded in this, and I suspect, other Microsoft mobile products. I recently downloaded a trial version of Ptab by Z4Soft (Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, Smartphone Software) that has an autosave feature,
    which allows you to save at a minimum of 1 min intervals. In my initial looks, it appears as though it does everything and more than MS's Excel mobile. Although I'm not certain whether I want to spend $30 for the program, I am considering it due to the
    lack of features of Excel.

    Any other thoughts? suggestions?

    excel not auto recovering and manually saving

    Hi,

    The concern you have encountered with Excel not auto saving may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting.

    May we ask if you have 3rd party software running when using Excel? If yes, we suggest to temporarily disable it to isolate the issue.

    Any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?

    Have you tried any possible troubleshooting steps? If yes, what are those steps and did you get any error messages?

    You can turn-on the auto save option by the following steps:

    • Open Excel
    • Go to File then Options
    • Under Save option, check the 'Save AutoRecovery information in every' option
    the best way to check when auto save is disabled is to hover over the toggle and read the reason that the popup tool tip identifies. Simply follow the steps provided in this

    article    .

    According to this
    article     the autosave function will be disabled when the file is in the old file format .xls.

    Kindly keep us posted with the results.

    Regards.
