Windows makes usb plug in sound at startup

Good day everyone.

This has been going on for a while and it's really bugging me off. I did some research before posting this but nothing that I have found turned out to be useful.

Everytime I turn on my PC and get past the log-in window, I hear the sound of an USB being plugged in. Why is that happening ? Nothing pops up in my task bar to let me know about any device connecting since I am not plugging anything in.

So what can the issue be ? All I have connected via USB ports are the mouse (Roccat Kova) and keyboard (Corsair K70 RGB )

turn the PC on with no USB devices connected and see if it does the same thing.

if it doesn't then its either the mouse or keyboard.

or turn it on with no mouse connected and just the keyboard.

once its on you can connect them but will narrow down if its either of them causing the issue

I did just so and when the keyboard was not plugged in it didn't make that sound. Hmmm

so its the keyboard making the sound, have you tried a different usb port?

I did try another one but I think is because this keyboard is a little different as it has a driver and everything so it kind of "boots up" when the windows starts.
