The game loads fine and works correctly but everytime an autosave happens or I save manually the game will take 10-20 minutes saving and there are even times when it just won't do it.

I'm not sure what could cause that. Has it always happened with this game for you, or only since when?
Are similar game Crusader Kings 2 is free to play on Steam now, does it also see this?

No, only on this game. It started happening recently. I had another problem in which when opening saved games the game would crash, but after solving it this started to happen o have no clue on why since it was working just fine.
Please do a full **clean** re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test BEFORE restoring any saved games
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
If that doesn't help DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
Please attach your Documents/Paradox/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/EU4/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log

I already made a reinstall as you said but it's still taking time to save.
The pdx_settings.txt file is empty.
Including deleting everything under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again?
When you run the game from Steam do you see the Paradox launcher? If so that settings file really must be there.
From your dxdiag this machine only has 4gb of system memory and an Intel video card, so we can expect it to be slow to play. Unload every other app you can before starting the game.
And, what antivirus app do you use?
Add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
