Photoshop 2024 autosave is not working

Since the last update i noticed PS is not working correctly.

More annoying, it is not autosaving files in cases of crashes.

Several files are missing and are no where to be found and what PS can find, are only very old files which are closed long ago.

I was able to recover one recent file only, which gives me only a png and flattened image, whole this file originally contains several (workable) layers. Again, PS crashes and i once again lost my work.

All is set up for autorecovery, i have used recuva and have searched everywhere for psd, psb and tmp files - its just not there.

Its getting a little bit frustrating and causes that software i pay for actually is not suitable anymore. Noticed that in the 2019 version same problems did occur but i was not able to find the solution.

Anyone knows if there actually is a solution?

Autorecovery is not working for me, either. I just lost an hour or more worth of work due to a Photoshop crash and the recovery file never came up as an option, even though autosave is set to every five minutes. This is the third crash on this document in the past day or two and not once has the option to recovery option come up. This is on a document that has been saved numerous times over the past few weeks. I'm working in version 25.5.0, but it hasn't worked since I upgraded.

Autorecovery works as expected in Photoshop 2023, so I'm about to roll back. This needs to be fixed.

@ambitious_website0D4D autosave activates recovery for very specific crash situations. When you crashed - do you get a crash report from Adobe to submit? What happens when you crash?

The crash file from February 26th lists the following exception information:

Exception Code: 0xc0000374
Exception Parameters: 0x5cc138a0
Exception Message: 3221226356 A heap has been corrupted.

I'm on Windows 11 Home - Build 10.0.22631
AMD Ryzen 3700X 8-Core 3600 Mhz Processor
RX 5700 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card
64 GB of DDR4 memory

I'm also using an XP-Pen Artist 24 pen tablet display monitor with a TourBox Neo.

I believe I was switching either from the clone tool or the eraser to the brush tool when Photoshop crashed this time. When I came back into the software it was as if it had never crashed. No crash report was generated inside of the software and the recovery options never came up.

What would be the best way to submit the crash file and system information to Adobe outside of the software? In the 33 years that I've been using Photoshop I don't believe I've ever submitted a crash report without going through the software.

@ambitious_website0D4D Heap corruption means you hit a bad sector of memory. It could be a faulty RAM card.

Photoshop didn't cause the crash - your computer hardware did so there was no auto recovery activated. There is no way to submit a crash report to Adobe outside of the software, but you can bring it here - which you did.

@Miloe24237661a625 @Steve Haven one big item to note is the auto-save feature only works if your Photoshop actually crashes (shuts down and gives a crash report) - not force-quit, power interruptions, etc.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Yeah as @DFosse noted "Autorecovery is crash recovery - - - If the file has been closed without saving, it is deleted from the autorecovery folder. If Photoshop is closed down, the entire content of the autorecovery folder is deleted" its really auto recover not auto save.

I hope this helps

It's not auro save. It's auto recovery. The dstinction is significant and not academic.

To get the autorecovery process started, the file has to be saved to disk at least once by the user.

At the intervals you specify in Preferences, the current state of the file is then stored in the Autorecovery folder. Here's the important thing: in a normal and orderly Photoshop shutdown, all content in this folder is deleted.

If Photoshop crashes, it doesn't have time to empty the folder.

When Photoshop starts up, it first goes to this folder and checks if there's anything there. Normally, there won't be anything, and Photoshop just opens with an empty workspace.

If the last exit was a crash, there will be files in the Autorecovery folder, and Photoshop opens these files as it starts up.

In other words, there is no point in looking for any "saved" files. Either it opens automatically, or there won't be anything there because it's been deleted.

It's both - auto save does not work and recovery does not work as well.
If there was any content, recuva should be able to find the files. Currently i have founded files back to 2018, but not the file which i edited yesterday.

Recovery is set for every 5 minutes, the minimum that van be chosen. Only 4 out of 7 files where recovered when i restarted after the crash.

In the end, it used to work perfectly and now it does not.
