Lost an important workbook
I shut down Excel for the Windows Update yesterday August 13, 2024. One of the files that was an active workbook is missing. I thought everything was saved. I expected to see the file in the recently used list. It had been pushed of due to loading several other files. I increased the size of the list from 10 to 30, more than enough, but still couldn’t find it. So, I searched for it on OneDrive, and my c: drive and a usb drive. It is nowhere. I keep this file loaded all the time and expected to be able to re-open it with no problem, because it would be in the recently used file list. I used to always save the file in a specific location on my c: drive, but I started to trust OneDrive to put it wherever. I didn’t really pay attention to where it was stored. I never needed to before because it was always there in the recent files list opening excel. The only reason I closed excel was because of the update. Any ideas of where I can locate it? Could the update be the problem? The file is the one most important excel file which I use daily.
