    Found that the folder the Save Data was to be stored in was set to "Read Only", so removed that requirement and changed the Admin access rules for the folder to allow full access as well, just in case.

It seems that MEA can't access your "Documents" folder.

Try to run Origin or the "MassEffectAndromeda.exe" as administrator.

I run MEA from a desktop short cut by right clicking "run as administrator" and have no save/load issues.  I've been doing this for all my games since switching to Windows 10 and it's eliminated any starting/saving/loading issues with the games I've played recently.
