When saving a session a .docx file gets overwritten/deleted

I make use of a .docx file to document the edits I need to make in the sound file. The image below shows the .docx files for the edits for July 19 and 26. I also had a .docx file for 260712.

I can save the edited sound file without any issue. However, as soon as I save my multitrack session (.sesx), the .docx file disappears.

At first I thought it might just have been deleted, but I can neither find it in the recycle bin nor recover it with an undelete app. This happens every time I save a session.

None of the other files are affected.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create or place a .docx file in the same working folder as the Audition project
  2. Work on and save audio edits normally
  3. Save the multitrack session (.sesx)
  4. The .docx file disappears immediately after saving the session

Expected result:
The .docx file remains untouched in the folder.

Actual result:
The .docx file disappears completely (not in recycle bin, not recoverable).

System details:

  • Adobe Audition version: 26.0.0056
  • Operating system:Windows 11 - Build 8390
  • Storage location: local drive
  • File system: NTFS

Additional notes:

  • This happens consistently, not randomly
  • Only .docx files are affected
  • Other project or media files in the same folder remain intact
