So about a month ago I bought a new motherboard and a new ssd. I deleted everything from my old hard drive and did a clean install of windows 10 on the ssd. Everything was fine except, every time my computer starts up, all the settings on my keyboard, mouse, and headset goes back to default settings. For example, I change the equalizer and rgb lights on my headset and I shut down the pc, when I turn my pc back on the settings did not save and everything goes back to factory default settings. Same goes with my keyboard and mouse, if I change the commands of the macros or turn on num lock on my keyboard, my pc forgets all the settings and uses factory default settings. This problem only started when I got the new motherboard and ssd.
All the drivers are installed and up to date and I have an account logged in to each one for cloud saving. I've been looking for an answer for so long but I can't find one so I would really appreciate any help

Sorry for the long question
TL;DR Mouse, keyboard, headset settings reverts back to normal every startup. The problem only started when I installed a new motherboard and ssd

Also worth mentioning, My mouse is a logitech g502, Keyboard is a Razer deathstalker, Headset is a Siberia 350. New motherboard is an msi z170a and the ssd is a samsung evo 850

My thought is that you do save your configuration settings to the "cloud".

Then you move your keyboard and mouse to another computer to game.

However that computer may not necessarily (or fully) recognize the keyboard and mouse. And may not even know to get the desired configuration settings or profile from the cloud.

Some driver difference or host computer configuration issue.

Or the host computer tries and fails to make the cloud connection without providing any direct "end user" messages.

Thus the host defaults to the factory default settings.

Maybe some port needs to be opened: check the documentation and firewalls.






Alright so you know those software for gaming mice, keyboard, etc. like "Razer Synapse", "Logitech Gaming Software". I have an account for those so I can save my configurations to their cloud/online storage. So if I use my keyboard or mouse on other computers I could sync my settings so I can use the configs I created on my main computer to that computer. Their cloud saving does work, I still have access to my old configs I created but every time I start my computer, it keeps setting back to factory default(profiles saved on the hardware itself). It may sound like a minor problem but it gets really annoying when I forget to manually change the settings because my dpi would be different or the macros have different commands
