What did you use to catch them?
Flypaper or a net?

If VS crashes or is killed/shutdown unexpectedly (before it had a chance to save files or ask for it), next time it comes up, it shows a dialog box showing a list of files and offers to restore them from automatic backups. Nice feature. Only...
It shows timestamps for each file, but that can be misleading; on more than one occasion I ended up with the wrong file.
WHY can't this dialog box have a Compare Files button? That would be the most useful thing that could possibly be added to this dialog box. This is exactly where this sort of thing is needed.
So I have to rely on external tools whenever I'm faced with this, and have to compare one file at a time. Ugh.
[Edit]
No, there was no question. Just venting. Carry on.

The defects of Microsoft and its products are legion. The frightening thing is that, at least in the development tools category, they are among the best.

What I find frustrating with this dialog box is that VS already has a great file comparer, and I'm sure it's a very re-usable component. It ought to be trivial to wire up a button and invoke it with two files from different paths on disk, and get the full functionality that's already been implemented and thoroughly tested.

I only said yes once to "restore" (out of curiosity) ... Not what I wanted: like creating my class, but not adding it to the project file. In other words, its "restore" can leave you in an inconsistent state.

Well, there is a Send Feedback entry in the Help menu. MS seem to be working very hard on Visual Studio, you might as well give it a shot.

I never have this problem. I don't keep lots of unsaved files in VS. I long ago got "Alt-F S" programmed as muscle memory in my left hand. If it crashes, at most I will lose 30 minutes of work.

I had, as well, maybe 30 minutes worth of work, but that was some heavy refactoring, so many changes in (thankfully) relatively few files.

Myself I can't ever recall VS crashing.
I suspect long ago I might have had the OS crash while VS was in use. But probably more likely because I was running something else and thus everything in VS was already saved.
Also mitigated probably because most of my code entry when there is a lot of code to enter is done via a different editor.

I had 2 instances of VS running, and running completely different .sln files that weren't sharing anything. I was refactoring code in one instance so had lot of small changes in a number of files. It's actually the other instance of VS that suddenly starting using a ton of memory (Task Manager showed devenv.exe reaching 18GB of RAM, and counting, before I killed the process, as it was absolutely unresponsive. Then the instance of VS I was using became unresponsive, even after waiting 20+ minutes, and finally I just rebooted the OS since it was already hurting pretty bad.
After rebooting, that's when VS showed the dialog box offering to recover unsaved files.

I know I've been talking about this a lot here, so forgive me.
I'm putting this out there in the ether so I feel even more obligated to accomplish the thing:
I'm researching for the greatest codeproject.com article I will probably ever contribute. I will get these cheapo pi boards running xboot w/ LVGL, and spin my own hardware designs off of them, and I will produce an article on how to do it yourself. It's a long, arduous task, all this legwork, but it will be worth it. It will make me money, and more importantly, I will gain enough XP doing this to level up.
This is the "smart" in smartphone technology, but without the operating system, the boot times, and a lot of cruft you often do not need.
It's not quite Arduino, but it basically allows you to do something like Arduino on an Arm Cortex A53 based SoC, with HDMI, DDR3, and a bunch of other niceties.
I'm making steady progress right now, and if I get lucky I may even have it booting tomorrow.
Update: I have a bunch of stuff in place, but I'm getting device errors trying to flash the device.
