Windows 10: Windows 10 - USB Connect Chiming

My set up: Laptop Dell XPS 13, Dell Thunderbolt Dock - WD19TB to attach external Dell monitor, keyboard and mouse. USB-C connections.​

I've had this happen twice - not sure what I did to fix it the first time, but very frustrated.​

After a video teleconferencing call last night, but computer started giving notification chimes as if a USB device was being connected then immediately disconnected. After much searching for how to control notifications and such, I narrowed down that when I remove the dock from the system, the notifications stop. I can use a USB-c mouse / keyboard, no prob - but when I introduce the dock, it starts again. ​

I've moved where the dock is connected port, but that makes no difference. I believe the last time it happened, was also after using skype. But I've tried to turn off skype notifications and that makes no difference. I've rebooted, with and without the dock. I've uninstalled skype, just to be sure that wasn't the cause.​

I've confirmed my USB drivers are current.​

Both the laptop and dock are less than 6months old.​

Any advice on what to try or how to fix?​

Thanks!​

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
