I have the same joystick, but don't have Windows 10 and haven't played in several months. I've always had issues with mine because the game does not detect mine by default and with every patch it deletes my custom configs.
I also have that issue as you probably recall, though never had an issue where it deletes my configs. I has a "custom joystick" or something and hence I've gone through and mapped all buttons to where and what I want.
