Premiere not opening most recent save

I work on a project file. I save. I auto save. 

The next day I open that project file and none of my activity has been saved. 

However, 

I go to my Auto Save Folder and I open the most recent auto save and BOOM - there's all my progress. 

Why would my project file choose not to open the most recent save position? 

Do I have to double check every single project file from now on? 

Do I have to start editing my opening my Auto Save folders first? 

Very frustrating. 

Thank you,
