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

    Hi, ReynaldoB

    I have same problem. Mine is windows 10 (I didn't update mine to 11), and recently I experience this unsaved problem. I have updated my Microsoft (Home and Bussiness 2019), even repair from control panel. But they didn't give any fix at all. Autosave setting was not useful at all. I also has sent feedback directly from the application. It made my time wasted, and I need to work several times for same thing. What should I do now?
