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.

Tried both of these fixes and neither one worked. When i took the folder off read only but when i went back to check it marked as read only again. Ran game as administrator and still no autosave, no load options at all. And I swear If i have to play the prologue mission one more time im going to return the game
Did you also run Origin as Admin?
If that also not works then there is probably a permissions problem at your system. Moving the standard "Documents" folder to the drive where the game is installed could solve that.
I am having a problem saving on my second playthough (Xbox one) I had no issues on first play though. I started new game plus, switched to my twin, but it does not save new data. I see "Sara Ryder" it says add new save, but saves nothing .
I think my download and install actually didn't create the files that the game would save data into. Look under Documents/BioWare/... and see if there is a file for "Mass Effect Andromeda" there. If not, you'll need to make one. Then, go back to the BioWare (and possibly the "Mass Effect Andromeda" ) file and right click on it. Click on "Properties", and then click on "Security". Look at the names in the window that says "Group or User Names", click on each of those and see what "Permissions" they have. If the one with your name or the Admin access are missing some checks (like read and write), hit the "Edit..." button and give that User/Admin access (The "Special Permissions" box will almost never check, so I didn't worry about it.).
Even if the "Read Only" box comes back ticked, my game saves and other data are all still being kept, so it feels safe to say that that particular thing can be ignored, if all the rest starts to work for you like mine did.
