I have Office 2021 and the Autosave feature for my OneDrive documents is working fine except for one particular document. When trying to enable Autosave in that document a popup says that it can not autosave in the location of said document, even though it's on OneDrive.

Note: This issue only seems to happen when opening the document from the Recommended Section of the Start menu. When opening it directly from the original location, Autosave is enabled by default and is working fine for the document. All other documents don't have this issue.

I have tried the following:
- Moving the document to different locations in OneDrive
- Removing the OneDrive credentials and restarting

Running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.819.

How can I solve this?

Check the Controlled Access Folder setting under History Protection. I was bombarded with blocked alerts after I ran the latest Win11update same as your build. I had to select allow even for documents I had no issue with in the past. I opted to turn it off.
