TextEdit not closing without asking me for a file name Previously, macOS using TextEdit and other apps allow blank documents to be edited and closing them without having to save the files, even for new files that were not giving a name yet.

I have to reinstall Catalina recently, and now, every time I close TextEdit it asks me to save or delete the file.

It appears TextEdit is not working normally anymore and there is no preference to adjust that.

This does not do the trick

defaults write com.apple.TextEdit ApplePersistence -bool yes


Any way to solve that?
Found the culprit. This box was turned on.
