z-Wave JS/ Go Control Stick

I have been running Z-Wave JS on a Virtual Box virtual machine. I am using a go-control Nortek USB dongle. Every time I have to restart the VM or I update HA, I have to re-interview most of my devices. It started forgetting devices and then would only identify them by their node number. I migrated my devices back to SmartThings but hate the lag and inconsistent response to automations.

Has anyone else experienced Issues with a Go-Control stick? Is it the stick or is it something I am missing?
