Autosave will not stay enabled

I'm currently using the latest version of Microsoft Word 365.  My AutoSave feature will NOT stay enabled.  I have gone into Options > Save > Save Documents and checked off "Autosave OneDrive and SharePoint...."  However, this function is always disabled when I launch Word and I have to re-enable it.  Is it possible to keep AutoSave turned on by default rather than have to continually enable it for every session?  (FYI-This is a 64-bit, hard-wired home PC running on a home network.  OneDrive runs on startup and seems to be synching without issue).
