Windows 10: USB Disconnect sound keeps repeating, only started today.

I started up my computer today after coming home from work and after I turned on my headphones, I was immediately greeted with a never ending loop off the Windows device disconnect noise. I've tried everything at this point to attempt to make it stop. I've read several other forum posts from others with the same issue, and tried every single potential solution that was given. I've even rolled back my computer to 2 days ago- which I assumed would have solved this since this wasn't happening last night at all. Some things to note:- When checking Bluetooth and Other Devices settings, IntelR Wir

USB disconnect sound

Keyboard, mouse, USB HDD. Since the mouse and keyboard don't seem to be affected, I suspect the HDD. I will disconnect it and see if that solves the problem.

There is no reconnect sound, just disconnect.

I did what you suggested. It is definitely the USB HDD. When I rebooted this morning, Macrium Reflect started a backup to the HDD, and I heard USB disconnect sounds almost continuously -- about once a second. The Macrium backup failed with "Backup aborted! - Write operation failed - The device is not ready."

I connected the drive to a different USB port on the same computer, but the disconnect sounds continued.

I moved the drive over to a laptop. There were no USB disconnect sounds. I was able to run a full Macrium Reflect backup on the laptop with no problems. Right now, I am running a SMART test on the backup, but it's taking forever.

Could it be a problem with USB? Or an out-of-date driver? I'm embarassed to say that I have no idea how to check for a driver update. This is an 8TB Western Digital Elements desktop drive.

 

USB disconnect sound keeps playing.

Every 2 seconds the USB disconnect sound keeps playing. It even plays when I disconnect every single USB. Also my mouse sometimes shifts to the right, so I think this is something to do with my mouse but I don't know. This started happening after my PC restarted
during an update. Would this have anything to do with it? I am running Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB. Thanks.
