ME2 keeps asking to log in every time and lost my save

Hey everybody

So I bought the ME trilogy a few years back and played them all and had no issues during. I uninstalled them a while ago and decided to replay the whole trilogy now since we're all locked in.

Played ME1 no problem I got to ME2 and every time I start the game I get the message to log in to the Cerberus thing to access all my DLC's which is annoying on its own (I tried to fix it so that it logs in automatically but it didn't work)

I started ME2 and played a few hours yesterday and then I saved and quit, I come today to play some more when it asks me again to log in to the Cerberus network which I do, except now my save is gone, it only shows "New Game".

Is there any way I can get my save or do I have to start a new playthrough? And if I do start a new playthrough I'm worried that the same thing will happen.

P.S I have them all on Origin, not Steam

P.S sorry if my English isn't great, It's not my first language

    OK, that config file looks fine.

    Try this please: (It is different from the last one.)

    Press the Windows key and "X" at the same time > Click on "Command prompt (Administrator)" or "PowerShell (Administrator)"

    • In the CMD or PowerShell window, at the prompt type or copy and paste:  takeown /F "xxxxxxxxxxxx" /R  (With the quotes. Replace the X with the full path to the C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents. folder.) > hit "ENTER"

    • Reboot.
    • Test.

    If that is also not working:

    • Create a new Windows user account. (Administrator account! Don't use special characters in the Username for that account.)
    • Reboot > Log on to the new account > Test.
