In the event anyone else runs into my issue, with the help of support I figured out what happened. I played through the whole game without using cloud saves and never signed into the Xbox app it wanted me to use. So all save games were saved in "C:\Users\PROFILE_NAME\Saved Games\The Outer Worlds Windows 10\__LOCAL__" . After installing the expansion and logging in to the game it bugged me about the Xbox app and cloud saves again so I logged into that. At this point I believe the game changed where it looks for saves to "C:\Users\USER_PROFILE\Saved Games\The Outer Worlds Windows 10\MICROSOFT_ACCOUNT_ID". This location was new and empty so the game saw no save files. Simply copying my saves from _LOCAL_ to the microsoft account folder allowed the game to see them all. And bam, problem solved!

Greetings, I played the game soon after launch and loved the game so I finished it pretty quickly. I have not played since and multiple updates have occurred. I went ahead and got the expansion but when I go to play, I found that while all my save games exist in my profile folder "Load Game" is greyed out in the game. So I can no longer use my character OR play the expansion. Please help. This is in Windows 10 and the game was purchased on the Microsoft store. Thank you.
