Document Recovery Message
Hi, Every time I save and open a new Excel document, the document recovery screen comes up. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Clear the files from this location:
C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel
Don't delete XLStart or the XLB file.

There where no files in this location, see picture below. I really appreciate you helping, anything you can think of let me know and I will try!

Try checking the location through File Explorer. There's a filter on the location when you view it through the Open window.

I'd check the AutoRecovery file location listed at File | Options | Save. It's possible your Excel is placing them in a different location than the usual.
