Yesterday I played anno 1404 for a couple hours and after I saved the game I wasn't able to load it after reopening Anno. Since then I am not able to save or load any games, the only thing I see is communicate "Save failed" or "Load failed". What is interesting is that before i send this post I maged to save and load game but then after 30 mins of playing everything repated))
I play on Windows 10 64 bit, Intel i5-7400, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti
Two things:
1st you using a on-line account or off-line account. Sometimes the on-line account you might have problems with saves. Again if you are using a on-line. Log-off and then try it. It does save both on-line and off-line at the same time.
2nd thing are you just running it in windows 10 or are you running in compatibility mode? If you are just running in windows 10 try the windows 7 compatibility mode.
Plus one other thing they are coming out with a remaster of the 1st 4 games. 1602. 1503, 1701, & 1404. The remaster will fix all the problems with these games too.

Did you buy the old version or the new one 1404 HE. The old version was known for the save game crashes.
The one thing you could try is add move Page memory. That is how they tried to fix the memory leaks and save game crashes.
In today world you really don't need page memory with any thing over 8gb of memory.
If you are running 8gb or more of memory make page memory 8000 X 12000. Plus make it where you have the game saving every 15 mins.
