Word File Recovery Solution | How to Recover Unsaved/Deleted Word Documents on Windows?

You’ve spent hours writing a document and then your PC crashes. Thousands of words, hours of work: gone in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, this is a very possible scenario that can sometimes occur when you’re writing or editing a Microsoft Word document, especially if you haven’t saved your file.

Fortunately, Word, like Google Docs, can and will automatically save your documents, even if you don’t save them yourself. Word will also try to help you recover changes to a file or repair damaged documents. If you’re having a hard time, here are some steps you can follow to recover a Word document before you lose it completely.

If Word crashes without saving your document, don't panic! If you're using a recent version of Microsoft Word, you may be in luck, as Word's built-in automatic recovery features may have automatically saved your progress.
