What happened to Auto-Save in Office 2016 for docs located in OneDrive for Business?
Did you guys figure out anything more on this? I unjoined a machine from Azure and joined it to the local domain, and, when I logged on with the domain account and fired up Word, the switch was missing. Redownloaded and still nothing. Now on 1708.
Works great on my home PC.
In both cases Office was installed from Office.com using my work account, which has the first release enabled, and logged into with that account as well.
Hi Paul,
For me, it just came back. I have no idea why. This was about two weeks ago maybe?
OneDrive is v17.3.6998.0830
Office is 1708 build 8431.2062
Unless you have a lot of free time, I don't think you should put any more into finding the answer. MS software is riddled with bugs, inconsistencies, and caveats thanks to this new "test in production" thing they have going on.

The new CEO did can a ton of QA staff after he took over and it sure is showing in Microsoft's products.
Yeah, I know. I think they swung the pendulum too far in the other direction. Tranditionally, they were on a 1 to 3 year cycle for products and now some teams are releasing weekly
I think 1 to 3 releases per year would be a happy medium.
Actually, frequency of the release cycle is probably not the real problem. More likely it's that they're not spending enough time on fixing existing bugs because the backlog seems to be staying at a steady amount. i.e. There's always five broken things at any given time.
I don't know the internals of MS (as if that's not already obvious!) but it would seem to me that a good metric for measuring a team's performance is the length of their backlog. Maybe management is allowing a few too many open items.
