If you're running the game full-screen, you may or may not see the Security Warnings about a program trying to access those save game files. You may have to ALLOW the changes to be made to the files/folders. (it got to be such a royal PITA to me that I turned off the Security setting)

Check under Settings then Update & Security then Windows Security then Virus & Threat protection then down to the Ransomware protection. Manage ransomware protection. "Controlled folder access" might be the culprit in this case.
I updated my win 10 pro today and a couple of hours later I gave SH4 a whirl, none of the saves would work, I knew I'd just read about this fix so I went in and disabled Ransomware protection, lo and behold it loaded my last save without doing anything else to it, Microsoft should check these things first the bloody fools.
