    MS Suite for Home (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, etc.)

    Originally, it was prior 2010. I got upgraded to 2010 via a special offer from MS for gov. employees. After the recent upgrade of my drivers, etc. I noticed today that those MS applications (Excel, Word, etc.) only appear , on the open list, but when
    I click on the application, a window pops up stating "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed".

    How to find MS-Word with Windows10 search functionality

    I'd like to find MS-Word in my Win10-search normally but it doesn't work.

    This is how I want it - it is working with MS-Excel:

    This is my current workaround that I hate, a friend told me about it.

    I'm guessing it has something to do with indexing, but I have no idea what I should do exactly to make this work.

    Why the save as function for MS Word and Excel will not work for me today?

    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.
