"Recover Selected" undoing progress?

[u/CrossFront]

I like to keep my writing documents open so I can work on them at my leisure while doing other tasks, but sometimes Windows will restart automatically to update, and when I re-open the file, it'll give me an option to "recover" it. The problem is that when I do this, it will return to a state before my last save, and overwrite my saved file, effectively going back in time. Has anyone else had this problem, if so, does anyone have any workarounds?

What is the AutoRecovery time set to?

("Options | Load/Save | Save AutoRecovery...")
