Word is saving open document automatically in its own,

Despite the fact that the “save auto recover information every” option is unchecked, Word saves open document automatically in its own.

What might be the issue here? How to disallow automatic saving?

Thank you

Best

Is the document on OneDrive or some other cloud storage? In that case, the document may be saved by the cloud.

Thanks Stefan for the answer.

At all. It is saved on the Hard drive on the machine.

What caused this automatic saving to happen?

Unless you have enabled the "Always create backup copy" option (File | Options | Advanced), all I can think of is the AutoRecover feature, but the behavior seems to be different here.

The "Always create backup copy" is unchecked (attached), nevertheless, the automatic saving is automatically performed (as shown in my screenshots in the first post).

What other settings I might need to consider to avoid this very frustrating saving that interrupts me while working?
