While working on a project PD11 crashed. Often if this happens when I next load it indicates there may be a file it can recover. (I assume this is the auto save file.)

On this occasion I did not get such a msg and on checking my autosave folder I saw it had not been saving and the last time was when I manually save . I have the preference set for for 15 mins.

Any reason or setting that I am missing.. any ideas. why it should stop auto saving Oldshep

Because the autosave project files are so small I set my save-time to the minimum 2 minutes. You may not have created a new autosave because your 15 minutes had not run-out. The 2 minute rule has saved a considerable amount of aggravation for me. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

In fact when I checked the folder the last autosave was 55 mins previous. so there should have been several saved files Oldshep

Did you somehow alter the path of the autosaves and they are in another folder? Other than that, I just don't know.
