Notepad:


Unfortunately, Notepad does not have an autosave feature built-in, so it does not create autosaved files. Notepad only saves files when you manually save them using the "Save" option. If you have not saved your Notepad file before closing it or encountering an issue, there won't be an autosaved version of it.

To prevent losing your work in Notepad, it's crucial to save your files regularly while working on them. It's recommended to save your Notepad files with a specific name and location to easily locate and retrieve them in the future.


Remember, it is important to regularly save your work manually, to avoid data loss and rely less on autosaved files.
