Description

Hi, so what happened was I uninstalled Anaconda and Jupyter, then I installed pip and then using pip to install Jupyter. However, once this is done, autosave no longer works! I checked in Jupyter Lab to make sure that I have Autosave turned on, and it is turned on but still, it doesn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Jupyter but to no avail. When I manually save it, it then said this document was "autosaved" when it clearly was manually saved. Can someone please help? Thank You! I also attached the list of things I did to my computer today, as to provide some contexts.

**This is the full list of everything I did to my computer today:**
- I uninstalled Anaconda.
- I uninstalled Jupyter entirely (leaving on some trace files behind).
- I installed and uninstalled anaconda-clean.
- I installed pip.
- I installed Jupyter via Python 2 and Python 3 using pip.
- I installed numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose using Python 2 and Python 3 via pip.
- I uninstalled nose using Python 2 and Python 3 via pip.
- I attempted to install Python 2 Kernel to Jupyter Notebook but that was unsuccessful.
- I installed Jupyter Lab using pip (didn't specify Python 2 or Python 3).
- I installed ipykernel using Python 3 and Python 2.
- I installed Python 2 Kernel to Jupyter Notebook sucessfully.
- I uninstalled ipykernel using Python 3 and Python 2.
- Then, I realized I unintentionally uninstalled Python 3 Kernel of Jupyter Notebook.
- So, I reinstalled ipykernel using Python 3. Then, I reinstalled Python 3 Kernel to Jupyter Notebook sucessfully before uninstalling ipykernel using Python 3.
- I reinstalled ipykernel back using pip command.
- I uninstalled sympy using Python 2 and Python 3 via pip.
- I uninstalled "Jupyter" using pip-autoremove but nothing seems to happen.
- I did a standard reinstallation of Jupyter.
- I removed the entirety of Jupyter using "Python3 -m pip uninstall -y jupyter jupyter_core jupyter-client jupyter-console notebook qtconsole nbconvert nbformat", then reinstall it back using "pip3 install jupyter."

Research direction

Start by reproducing the autosave report in both Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook using the installation sequence described, while recording the Python and package versions. Compare automatic and manual saves and determine a specific, repeatable failure; the issue is done when its cause is identified and a regression test or clearly verified fix covers it.
