Two things to try....
1) Clean boot your computer, making sure only the basics are loaded and run....IE op system, Oriign and DAI. Test and see if it works.
2) Create another profile on your PC, load Origin and DAI on that profile and play...may require clearing HD space, as I don't know if it will just reuse the same game or have to install a separate version for the new profile.
Also are you running any Mods?? I have to say, that hardware SHOULD have MUCH quicker loads.
No mods running here i will try to play in another profile see how it goes 🙂
EDIT
ok i tried it in my other profile and after creating a new character in order to be able to move the saves (it wont recognize the old saves without creating a new character first) managed to load my old saves.
So i had 38 seconds from clicking play (on origin) to the game main menu and about 1:30 minutes or less to load the save, and i got back to my main windows profile after i reseted the laptop battery and crashed it on purpose to try to fix the boot so in my main profile 1st try and i got 1:38 to main menu and 2:08 from main menu to loading the save 2nd try (after maybe getting it cached) and the results are:
45:80 from start to main menu and 42.59 from main menu to load the save total 1:28.41 from pressing play to actually playing so this means as far as im concerned it's a preety good result and the graphics are all on max 🙂
After all this is a pretty good gaming laptop and if i get good results on all other newer games why shouldn't i get it too on DAI this was really weird but seems sorted for now might install win 7 when i have a chance to upgrade the m.2 ssd to a larger 256gb nvme and maybe also upgrade the normal hd to a 2tb sshd (im using sshd's in my older laptops and they are pretty fast to load the os comparing with the normal hd it's a shame toshiba won't make 2tb sshd or bigger because i have one from toshiba 1tb and one from seagate 2tb that's rubbish already had to get it replaced lost everything and not the first seagate, samsung and wd i burn because my laptops are on 24/7 356/6 days /year, already burned so many hdd's in my old desktop back home got tired of counting what i lost but it really pisses me off when u loose everything without being able to recover it because either the hdd stops or is not recognized anymore in the bios 😛).
The ssd's are still too expensive and it's not worth it in my opinion just for the os its enough
