A request for help: SharePoint causing tons of sync problems?
Seeing your NGSC version, I guess that you are also on Windows Insider.
Of course, I cannot say if the issues you are experiencing are actually due to installing Insider builds, but, in general, Insider (aka beta) versions of both Windows and Office should be avoided on production machines.
Also, instead of reusing existing Office documents, you should use Office templates. See for example http://www.techadvisory.org/2014/01/using-office-templates/
Finally, you could disable Autosave completely or only for single files. See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-is-autosave-6d6bd723-ebfd-4e40-b5f6-ae6e8088f7a5
Hope it helps...
First of all, NGSC 18.025.0204.0009 is an Insider Ring build. Have you considered switching to Production Ring? Insider builds are unstable by their nature, so it is unsurprising to experience glitches and bugs.
Second, which Office version are you running? Are you in Office Insider too, perhaps?
Thanks Salvatore, I appreciate the suggestion. I am in the Insider program for Office. I had signed up to test a new feature that had just been released, and also with the hope that the problems that I'd been experiencing, which predate my joining the insider build by a couple of months. But I've now gone in and turned that off.
I hadn't realized that I was also in a non-production build for the NGSC and don't immediately see a way to turn that off from within the client. Is that managed as part of the Office settings, or is there a different place to make adjustments?
