What happenned to my open documents?

I had a few Excel documents open two days ago and came back to my
computer to find that it had done an auto update and rebooted on its
own. What happenned to the documents that were open before the update?
Are they in a temp folder somewhere? Have I lost the data? If that's
the case, how can I disable this feature? This may have cost me
several sales for my business!

I'm not sure if you've answered my question or not. I'm able to open
documents, but I can't find the document I had open before the auto
update. I assume that anything that was open an unsaved before the
update would be saved in a temp folder somewhere.

Thanks.

Check your Autosave location, Open Excel
Tools/Options/Save

Also, you may want to change your Windows Update Settings:
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab.
Make selections as desired.

NOTE:
Depending on your new settings, you may need to manually check for updates
each month.
