Illustrator 2025 doesn't autosave after crashing ...

The solution is:

saving your files. If you want something reliable, do it yourself.

If a crash happens while Illustrator is saving, then there is nothing to recover.

What you want to do:

Save early

Save often and regularly

Save different versions, because saving often will not help when you lose your only file in a crash while saving.

Save on different harddrives, because harddrives can go south as well.

Turn on Time Machine if on a Mac

Get something similar if on Windows.

And when you have all that, then the Recovery function can be the icing on the cake.

Hello @DennyKurien,

Would you mind providing some details about the circumstances under which these files were saved or edited and the location of the files where they were stored?

Also, kindly share a link to the AID files from the recovery folder (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/recover-files-after-crash.html) after uploading to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. so we can check it on our end. Although we cannot guarantee a successful recovery, we will try our best to do so.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
