Unplug your device and plug it back in after a few seconds.

Once you’ve installed USBDeview, open it to see a list of all your USB devices (by default it shows all of them – connected or not). The links are just above the available languages. If you’re having trouble finding the download link, scroll until you’ve almost reached the bottom of the page. The tool is still being actively updated and even supports Windows 11. USBDeview, from the excellent Nirsoft, tracks your USB devices more accurately – seeing whether or not they’re connected, when their drivers were created, and most importantly, the last time they were plugged in or out of your PC. If the random USB noises are too unpredictable to track in Device Manager, or if the noise has stopped by the time you get to Device Manager, then it’s time to try out this great little tool. If the random USB noises started after a Windows update, updating the driver or uninstalling and reinstalling is usually the best option to stopping the noise. Reboot your PC, and your USB controllers will reinstall on your PC automatically.Įven if everything seems to be working fine, a new Windows update could result in driver issues yet again.
