When I create my work Excel files on my computer, it suddenly shuts down! And I didn't take backups of essential files on Clouds or other external storage devices. How do I recover my Excel files from an unexpected shutdown?
Certain PCs have the auto-save function for apps like Windows Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PS. Pressing Windows + E will launch the File Explorer. From the left panel, select This PC, then put ".asd" into the search area. When you press Enter, your computer's search results display the recoverable but unsaved files.
The files you want to recover should now be clicked, opened, and saved normally.
If this doesn't work, there is still hope: third-party data recovery software can search your hard drive for accidentally lost Excel files and, if successful, restore them. This may allow you to recover XLSX/XLS files. Programs like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard are among the most often used ones.
Step 1. Turn on the computer and launch the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. Select the drive on which the unsaved files were lost, then select "Search for Lost Data".
Step 2. Select "Type" and "Unsaved Files" from the Path and Type pane on the left. Using this unsaved file recovery program, you may easily recover unsaved Word, Excel, PPT, and other files.
Step 3. Select the desired files and press the "Preview" option. Next, to recover these unsaved files, click "Recover". Returning the recovered files to their original place could cause the file to be overwritten, so proceed with caution. The restored files can be saved to online storage services like Google Drive or OneDrive.
