Autorecovery on Visio Not Working (missing files)

HI, Visio seems to crash on me quite a bit. I set up Autorecovery on it to save every 5 minutes (and I see it pop up every 5 minutes telling me it is saving so I assume it is working). With my most recent crash this morning, it reopened a "recovery" file but it was the last one I did a hard save for (yesterday afternoon), so I went to where I normally look for autorecovery documents ("users\username\appdata\local\temp" and "users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft") but I saw nothing with Visio or any files related to it. Are there any other ways that you can locate where those autosaves are landing? I am using Visio Standard 2016.

    To open the default location, in the Run window, input:

    %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Visio

    Press Enter.
