The exact recovery path is:
[LIST=1]
[*]Open FL Studio.
[*]For the most recent autosave, choose File → Revert to last backup.
[*]If that copy is not the one you want, open the Browser → Backup folder inside FL Studio and load an older backup manually.
[*]You can also inspect the files directly on disk. With the default FL Studio 20+ setup, the global backup folder is under Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Projects\Backup. If you changed the User Data Folder, the backup location follows that setting.
[*]Before testing several backups, copy the backup FLP files to another folder first. Then open the copies one by one, newest first, until you find the last healthy version.
[*]Once you find a working version, immediately use File → Save As or Save new version and save it as a normal project rather than continuing to work directly from the Backup folder. Ctrl+N creates a sequential new version.
[/LIST]
If the backup itself refuses to open or crashes FL Studio, treat it as a corrupted-project recovery problem rather than an autosave problem. Try another backup first, then investigate troublesome third-party plug-ins if the problem follows the project.

Newer FL Studio setups can also be configured to save backups inside the project data folder instead of the global Backup folder. If Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Projects\Backup looks empty, check Options → File settings → Backup → Location to see which backup mode is active.
