I am having a trouble with the Autosave with one specific Microsoft excel Spreadsheet on my windows 11 computer

Question

I am having a trouble with the Autosave with one specific Microsoft excel Spreadsheet on my windows 11 computer.

I have never changed the way the shared spreadsheet is used, however a few days ago, the autosave ceased to function. I do not believe the file is not too big and all of my coworkers do not have trouble with this issue. This is the only shared spreadsheet that is having this issue on my end, others work well as intended.

When I go make an edit, no one can see it at first. The only way I can save changes made is manually by clicking save or closing the application and it prompting me to save.

The shared spreadsheet is stored in SharePoint, I also use OneDrive as well. I see both are labeled as "Connected Services" on Excel. I have no add-ons and my Autosave is on in my excel options (as can be seen in the picture).

Excel Version: 2501 (build 18429.20158) Windows Version: (Windows 11 Business)

I have been struggling to solve this issue and would appreciate any help or tips I can get.

I'm glad to hear you solve the problem, if you have any issue about SharePoint, you are welcome to raise a ticket in this forum.

By the way, since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others.". So, I would make a brief summary of this thread.
