Part 1: Video Guide on How to Recover Unsaved PowerPoint Presentations

Part 2: How to recover unsaved PowerPoint without software

You can recover data without any third-party tools. There are three methods you can try, but these may not work in all cases.

The first method is to use the recovery feature of PowerPoint. Even if the power suddenly went out or the computer was restarted, PowerPoint has the ability to recover unsaved PowerPoint presentations. Follow the steps below to use this great PowerPoint feature.

• Step 1: Open the PowerPoint application on your computer.

• Step 2: After opening the app, you will be on the home screen. On the left, click the Open button.

• Step 3: At the bottom, you will see the “Recover Unsaved Presentations” button. Click the button to check unsaved presentations.

• Step 4: It will open the folder where unsaved files are usually stored. Click on the presentation you want to retrieve. Your file will open instantly.

Note: Unsaved files are automatically saved to a separate folder so you can retrieve them later. It may not be what you left when you made the presentation; there could be some things missing from the file. However, most of your effort will be intact; only the last modifications you have made can be missing.

PowerPoint also offers an AutoRecover feature that saves the presentation after a certain interval. You can adjust the interval in the settings. The files are saved in a certain folder and you can directly access that folder to recover the unsaved presentation. The best part is that you can also change the location and the files will be stored in any folder you want.

Follow the steps below to restore unsaved PowerPoint presentations.

• Step 1: First, you need to know where the file is stored. For that, open the PowerPoint application.

• Step 2: On the left, you will see the Options button.

• Step 3: You will see the options window. On the left, click the Save tab. You will see the AutoRecover time there. By default, it is 10 minutes.

• Step 4: You will also see the location of the AutoRecover file. Copy the path and open the file explorer. Click on the search bar, paste the path and press Enter.

• Step 5: You will be in the folder where the unsaved files are saved. You can retrieve the file from here.

Some files are also stored in the temporary folder. If the above two methods don’t work for you, you can check the temp folder.

Follow the steps to open the folder and recover your unsaved presentation.

• Step 1 – You need to open the Run app to go to the temp folder. Type Run in the Windows search bar at the bottom left and press Enter. You can also use the shortcut “Windows Key + R”.

• Step 2: Run will open. Type “%temp%” and click OK.

• Step 3: It will open the temporary folder. However, there will be many files and it will be difficult to check each file. For ease, click the View tab and check the “File Name Extensions” radio button.

• Step 4: Type “ppt” or “pptx” in the search bar and hit Enter. It will show the presentations if there are any. If you have found your presentation, you can move it to any folder.
