Autosave file .sv$ won't open in autocad even after changing extension to .dwg

[juneaucathTN374]

Hi!

I've renamed my autosave file extension from .sv$ to .dwg (making sure extension was visible) but the software just freezes when I try to open the file now. I restarted my computer and tried again but same thing. Any help?
