[GNC] Autosave question

[scum buster]

Sure . It only happens when windows does it automatic crap, even though 
my machine is "no longer eligible for updates" MS still does something LOL

There is an error when I go to start up and open my file.

And then I find that the last updates to different accounts (if I forgot 
to "Save" manually and left the application running) I made are missing.
