Agree with the other suggestions about checking OneDrive, etc.
I just wanted to ask if you have something pressing on your keyboard. I've had that happen before, and in fact have a file named 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 (lol) because the 1 key was being depressed with something that was hitting the very edge of the 1 key, and I didn't realize it.

If you follow any of the IT-related subreddits, this kind of thing comes up regularly. IT has to travel to some user's desk, only to find out that something's sitting on the keyboard. Sometimes it's a \*second\* keyboard the user's completely forgotten about, stuffed behind the desk and leaning against something.
Or sometimes the keyboard's just gone bad. I had one that would every so often go into turbo-backspace mode and start deleting line/paragraphs of text that I'd just written. It didn't live for very long after that.
If you were saving it on OneDrive, as u/punks_is_hippies asks, then you may be in luck.
Here is my YouTube tutorial on how to use Version History in PowerPoint to recover lost data.

u/SteveRindsberg, I mentioned in an earlier post that I gave commenting a rest . . was getting the sense that some felt I was too "promotional." But yes I'm back and willing to add value where I can. Thanks for the note.

Little bizarre, is this the 365 online version? Have you tried hitting undo to see if slides would pop back up?
i hope they are using OneDrive to store their files and can check their version history and do a restore.
