Overwatch causing Windows device connection error

As of today whenever Overwatch is open windows constantly makes the “device connected” notification sound about every half second. Nothing unsual is plugged in, bluetooth is off, I do have quite a few periferals plugged in - such as an audio interface and such but I’ve never had a problem until today, and only Overwatch does this.

It would be okay because I can just turn the notification sound down/off but it ruins the performance of my game, every time it tries to connect a device the entire game stutters. I also notice that my FPS is consistently dropping below 90, when yesterday it would hold 300+ always.

If one of your peripherals isn’t compatible with the game, Windows is likely unloading it. Just check the log in Windows Event viewer → system log to see which device.
