Hi,
I have recently upgraded my windows system from windows 10 to windows 11.
Though most of the function are working properly, however PowerPoint has been has been having issue.
Whenever the laptop is put/goes on sleep mode with programs like PowerPoint still running and file being open, then when the laptop is switched back on, the PowerPoint automatically closes or shuts down when laptop goes into sleep.
It is taking lot of time to redo the ppts again as text and other changes are lost if unsaved.
Kindly help resolve this issue.
regards
Arun

I have the same issue with PPT closing without saving when I leave my laptop for a few minutes, losing all my work

Go to your TEMP folder and look for files that were created at about the time your computer went to sleep and crashed PowerPoint. If you find a likely candidate, rename it to give it a PPTX file extension and see if you can open it in PowerPoint.
Steve - you nailed it. I uninstalled McAfee. Didn't even have to reboot. The problem went away. Now I have a different problem... Gotta buy some different anti-virus software!
I have the same problem in WIndows 10 with hibernate. If I close my laptop without saving my Powerpoint, when I re-open the lid and login, Powerpoint is no longer active and none of the changes I've worked on for hours is saved. This also implies that Autosave is not working.
