Auto Save FAIL

I am so angry right now. I just spent time programming drums during my brothers Guitar Solo section in SPrem. 20 minutes with fine tuning and some of the most creative work I've done in a long time.
 
BAM! Sonar crashes.
 
That's ok! I'll revert to my auto saves - since I have it set to save every 2 minutes/every 10 changes AND keep 10 versions.
 
BAM! NO files to revert to. Not ONE. File/Restore window is empty.
 
Not a happy camper.

    The "Revert"-menu is only for versioning.
    Auto Save works, also Versioning.
    We keep 999 Versions, and have hundreds of "autosave*.cwp" and "*.~2015*" files in the projectfolder.
     

    We digitize tapes, vinyl, dat, md ... in broadcast and studio quality for publishers, public institutions and individuals.
    4 x Intel Quad-CPU, 4GHz Sonar Platinum (Windows 10 - 64Bit) and 14 computers for recording tapes, vinyl ...

    4 x RME Fireface 800, 2 x Roland Octa Capture and 4 x Roland Quad Capture, Focusrite .... Studer A80, RP99, EMT948 ...

    Yes, look in the project folder for the auto-save copy. The auto-save copy is not presented in the revert dialog.

    Guys trust me. There was one auto save and no versions.
     
    Once I restarted Cakewalk it began version-ing again.
     
    I'm not a fan of software I have to restart or worse reboot in order to ensure it works.

    The title is misleading, auto save appears to work, versioning did not. I cannot say I have ever had versioning fail. I do power down my PC every night and cold start every morning. I do manually save in addition to autosave and versioning, just in case.
     
    Edit: Might want to take a look at the Windows Event Viewer for errors.
