MS Forms is failing to save changes and new form information

Across our organization we are experiencing an issue where MS Forms is not saving any changes or maybe a handful out of many to a forms and not saving new forms (saves as untitled with no content).  ...

Is any solution from Office already available?
Can we trigger manually somehow the "auto-save" ?
Having same problem (part of changes unsaved), and tricky to follow using the tool...

    I've just recently started using MS Forms and the first couple of surveys I did were fine. However, I have suddenly started to experience this issue as well. I strangely also kept getting a message asking if I wanted to remain on the page or leave, which I presume is part of the same issue. I read another post from some time ago suggesting that refreshing after adding every question sorts this issue. However, that isn't very convenient. Also, that post was from 2017 and this issue is still not solved!

      I have the exact same issue. After 8mths of using MS Forms with no problems, I spend over 2 hours working with my customer on a form only for the save to fail and lose more than half the information. Noticeably I was also constantly getting the “Leave the page” message popping up which I’ve never had before. The auto save was saying “saving” & “saved” constantly. I have noticed that forms has changed recently in its layout and wonder if these changes are the cause
