If I am reading it correctly, he is looking for a method to DISABLE the possibility to turn off autosave, not to turn it off?
I don't know for certain when you disable that setting you mentioned is going to grey out the possibility to turn it off? Of did I read it totally wrong 🙂 ?

Hi AB21805,

In my opinion it is not possible to enforce it.

The user have always the possibility to manually turn Autosave off.
With GPO is their only a possibility to disable the autosave function but, not to enforce autosave.
