Hello ,

I’m here to help you in resolving your issue

If Windows is trying to connect to an unknown or non-existent device, it might be because the system is attempting to connect to an old or invalid device.

1: Open Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).

2: Look for any unrecognized devices under Sound, video and game controllers or Other devices.

3: Right-click and Uninstall any device that’s not necessary or is incorrectly labeled (e.g., "Turntable").

4: Restart your computer and see if the notifications stop.

Sometimes, Windows can keep showing unnecessary notifications due to bugs or outdated system files.

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and check for pending updates.
