Logitech G500 forgetting saved settings

I've had a logitech G500 for a number of years now. Recently upgraded my rig (all new hardware, new fresh install of win 10 home). Everything was working fine for awhile. All of a sudden my custom commands I assigned to my mouse stopped working. I assign Control+F4 to the middle-side mouse key. I thought maybe I needed to install the Logitech software as I hadn't done that yet.

After installing the software and rebooting it still wasn't working. I found that if I switched the setting in the software from "on-board memory" to "automatic game detection" then my assigned keys would start working. Even though I have them set on the on-board memory side. I switch it back to "on-board memory" and then it stops working.

Through all of this, with both reboots and cold shutdowns I never actually unplugged and replugged in the mouse. Did that and voila, working as it did in the past. Except now every time I shut down and reboot the problem returns. All I need to do is unplug it and plug it back in and it starts working again.

Anyone experience anything similar or have any ideas?

Memory in the board is probably going bad. Mine has the common double clicking issue that the G500 has due to static build up on the pressure plate of the left click. Heard you can wrap it in plastic wrap to fix the issue, tried using tape. Didn't work.
 
My g700s does this and is only a year old. I save my macros/profile to a file and then reload it whenever mouse alzheimer's takes hold.

The above process works great. I get around 2 years between "cleanings" on the microswitch. Before you start though, I'd make sure you have a decent pair of tweezers and a set of replacement mouse feet. I've had mine since 2009.
