Power Point Developer Tab

Question

I am running Power Point Office 365 and when I attenpt to add the Developer tab I get the following error.

I cannot find the "\Auto_Save\" folder. I did a clean install of O365 with no change. Can anyone replicate this?

Works with Excel, just not Power Point.

Turns out that I had to add the folder Auto_Save to the Documents folder directly under my user name and not under the Documents folder linked to OneDrive. This solved the problem.
