English term or phrase: with a big presentation open and unsaved

Turn Off Automatic Reboots
2 minutes
Windows invariably decides to reboot itself only while you've left your computer idling ***with a big presentation open and unsaved***. Reboots typically happen after Windows Update does its thing, often late on Tuesday nights. The easiest way to prevent automatic reboots is to change Windows Update from automatic to manual.
只有当你让电脑处于闲置状态，联一个庞大演示文档开着、没有保存，Windows才免不了决定重启。
感觉不对劲。

Chinese translation:打开了大型演示文稿但没有保存

Explanation:
presentation(演示文稿): A set of slides that are imported or created for display in a meeting.

第一句的推荐译法: 在您打开了大型演示文稿但没有保存，而计算机处于闲置状态时，Windows 仍可能自动重启。

invariably ... only while 之意是“在……这种情况下仍无法避免”
采取简洁的形式将意思表达出来即可。

Explanation:
在这里，“big”可能不一定指文件本身的大小，而是指文件内容的重要性。“presentation”也不一定仅仅指“演示文稿”，理解为“演示的文档（displaying file）”可能更确切一些。“open”处理成否定式“没有关闭”，和“unsaved”对应，读起来也许更顺口一些。

"big"看来不是“重要”的意思，我的对应方案修改为“一个既没有关闭又没有保存的大型文档”。
尽管如此，还是很令人不解：Windows系统是不是故意给人制造麻烦，人家的文档（演示文稿也罢，图形文件也罢），仅仅是因为大并且没有保存，就要重新启动，不是没事找事吗？另外，我做三维设计的时候，有时候因为图形复杂，计算机运行速度慢倒是真的，可是从来没有遇到过因为文档大而且没有保存就自动重新启动的事故......
