I keep getting this error. "Fusion 360 was unable to automatically save..."

Anyway to fix this?

Is this the same error message?

"Auto Recovery

Fusion 360 was unable to automatically save a recovery file for XXXXX. To avoid data loss, we recommend you manually save the recovery file now."

If so, check out this thread.

With new designs, they need to be saved initially with a file name before being added to the recovery directory. Think of it as a save reminder. If a design is opened for a while, you will receive an warning message reminding you to save. This change was intentional. This is step 1 in a larger effort to improve the saving experience in Fusion 360. The next release will contain some further enhancement in this area.

I hope this answers your questions.

I been getting the error on files that have been saved. This morning I opened a 2d drawing from the data panel,  left it on my screen just to read sizes and after a while I got that error message even though the file had not been edited.
