Session File Corrupt After Crash

Hi Everyone, 

I usually edit my podcasts in Audition and have the auto-save and backup settings turned on (in addition to my own manual saving habits between sections), but my PC crashed after I finished my project, and when I try to reopen the .sesx file through any means, I get an error:

 

Error: Media Foundation reported an error when opening the file.

The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported. 

 

All of my saving and backups are done locally so I haven't been able to determine why it lists an unsupported URL, and my audition is the current update (22.5). Also, when I reviewed my backup folder to see if I can pull up a previous version, it looks like it hasn't made a backup in 5 days even though I have the settings for every 15 minutes. 

 

I did some digging but I couldn't locate anything identical to this and I'm pretty sure I might just be out of luck on this one. Has anyone run into this one in the past?

Hard to work out what's actually wrong with this session file, other than that it's completely corrupted, apparently from the first character. SuiteSpot might be able to, but I couldn't even get it to open in an XML editor.

    Thanks for taking a look, Steve!

    I'll take a look to make sure my session backup is working correctly going forward and get to work on redoing this one from the sounds of it.
