    Hi @Tuhin Bhowmick

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum 

    As far as I know, AutoSave is no longer available or appearing in the Office toolbar in Office 2016 Version 1707 (Build 8326.2058) or higher

    (Refer this link for more information: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/autosave-is-missing-from-the-office-toolbar-9cc33369-9fb9-4e31-bb5c-af5f7a14ed82)

    Regarding your issue, I suggest trying some basic steps: 

    1.Update Excel to the Latest Version:  

    -Open Excel. 

    -Go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now (on Mac, Help > Check for Updates). 

    -Install all available updates. 

    -Restart Excel and check for the AutoSave slider. 

     

    2.Enable AutoSave in Quick Access Toolbar:  

    -In Excel, click the down arrow in the Quick Access Toolbar (top-left corner of the window). 

    -Select More Commands to customize the toolbar. 

    -Ensure the Automatically Save option is checked. 

    -Click OK and verify if the AutoSave slider appears. 

    Like shown below:

    3.Repair Microsoft Office (Windows):  

    -Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features

    -Find Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office

    -Click Modify > Select Quick Repair > Repair

    -If the issue persists, try Online Repair

    -Restart Excel and test 

     

    These steps aim to identify the cause and may not permanently resolve the issue. I appreciate your patience as we work through this together.
