How to log device connection/disconnection information on Windows 8.1?

My Windows 8.1 desktop is always on (not even sleep). However, when I move the mouse/press the keyboard to turn on the display and then unlock the user, I get Device Disconnect sounds from Windows. This can happen 0 to 10 times one after another and then just stops by itself -- until the next time I "wake" the computer (not from sleep but from screensaver/display-off).

A previous question asks about Windows 7 and the answer is to get USBLogView. But USBLogView is not compatible with Windows 8. Any other solutions?

Looking at Device Manager just shows it refreshing every time I hear the sound, but I don't see any changes in the devices.

In case someone sees this down the line and needs an answer. I finally found something useful.

EventGhost shows a log of all USB device connections and disconnections. Fully compatibly with my Windows 8.1 PC.
