That sounds like your backend storage might be the cloud storage or you
have very old drive that is not flushing cache before powering down.
Assuming it is Intel pc, make sure BIOS settings for hard drive is set to
AHCI mode and set it as removable or hot swappable drive type which should
force it to flush cache upon power down command is sent to it.

I have the pre-build binaries of the 4.14 version running on Windows and it
auto saves as well. If anything it would only be the current in-flight

Subject: Re: [GNC] Autosave question
I'm still using a built-from-source 4.14, and the auto-save does in fact
save the file.

I don't use this feature, but the documentation very clearly states:
"Auto-save time interval: This field sets the number of minutes between
each automatic saving of the file. Set to 0 to disable the auto-save
feature."
This (and the name of the preference) would strongly suggest that the
feature is supposed to, ahem, *save* the file in question, and not just toss
up a reminder.
But, I'm sure I've misread things.

iirc, auto save is only a reminder, not an action. However, you
should be able to import transactions entered after the last manual
save using the replay logs feature.
