Considering none of the named USB devices were going anywhere as I watched on intently, that meant it was one of the devices with a generic title, such as &apos;Human Interface Device&apos; or &apos;USB Input Device&apos;.

And it was all thanks to a little app called USBLogView.<\/p>\n<p>After talking to the PC Gamer Hardware team about my issue in no uncertain language (I&apos;m not usually one to swear but this experience f***ing sucked). I was told by our Nick Evanson that there was <em>some app<\/em> that might be able to show me which device was disconnecting and reconnecting each time. He couldn&apos;t remember the name, but I forgive him, as the mere knowledge of &apos;an app that shows me which USB device is connected\/disconnected&apos; was search term enough to bring up said app in Google Search.<\/p>\n<p>USBLogView is a simple piece of freeware uploaded to a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nirsoft.net\/utils\/usb_log_view.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simple website<\/a> seemingly running on a server untouched from the early 2000s. I&apos;m not judging it on looks: I find most websites that look like this offer the best solution to whatever problem I&apos;m having at the time. I might have been a little more cautious as to installing this application from a mysterious website had it not been for the <em>biddum<\/em> and <em>biddee<\/em> I knew was still going off, whether I could still hear it or not.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:728px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:88.19%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"y425d7PhzdeEWjvNVx6qNY\" name=\"1722436327.jpg\" alt=\"USBLogView showing the device name and IDs for a Kingston USB stick.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/thank-you-freeware-i-was-just-saved-from-usb-disconnect-reconnect-hell-by-a-simple-logging-tool-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"642\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Here&#8217;s an example from USBLogView, showing one of my USB sticks.
