Once we created a new Windows profile, Excel's AutoSave feature began working correctly again as we wanted.

bmwever ,
I read somewhere that there is a relation between AutoSave and AutoRecover, but I'm not sure.
Could you check in the Excel options, if the AutoRecover settings have been switched on for this user?
