21.10.X had some bugs which we could live with and it did not impact our workday so much. Nonetheless we decided to upgrade Studio to 22.4.x which had its own issues (including the one being mentioned here). So we thought the 22.10.x must have fixed many bugs from 22.4.x, which it has but the most important bug we expierenced still exists.
The case opened in the customer portal Case #:01879857 has asked us to wait until a new Studio version is released (22.10.4, or .5). But lost man hours waiting for a fix while the developers keep getting demotivated with lost work has made me write this feedback here.
Error details
The details of what happens is dicussed in this thread. @goel.saloni tagging you here for traceability.

Today my instance crashed over 16 times and my colleague also lost his work over 10 times. Version control does not help with this bug. The updates/edits made in the workflow just disapper when restarting, if the opened workflow is not saved before the crash. The crash does not trigger any auto saves.
Observations
We observed that this mainly happens in the Windows version of UiPath Projects and since we are currently working mostly on test automation, I cannot confirm if this happens also on REFramework projects ported to windows. Test automation projects (Windows version) we work on were not ported, they were create anew in Studio.
@Emerald since you are currently working on Test Automation projects, have you experienced this failure in your Studio Instance?
We really wish and hope this bug is escalated, but I do not see it being mentioned in the known issues section in the release notes: 2022.10.3 (uipath.com)
Thank for your efforts and consideration.
PS: Studio is the core product of UiPath. We would love to see it being stable again. Studio is the golden goose. It deserves/needs more TLC
