USBSentry v1.0.0
USBSentry — a simple USB peripheral monitor for Windows 11.
Download
Grab USBSentry.exe below and double-click it. No installation, no Python needed.
First run: Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognized app (it isnt code-signed). Click More info -> Run anyway, or right-click the exe -> Properties -> tick Unblock. This only happens on downloaded files.
What it does
- Live list of every connected USB peripheral (name, type, status, manufacturer, VID:PID)
- Alerts when a new device is plugged in — toast notification, in-app banner, and sound (each toggleable)
- Hides internal hubs by default for a clean list
- Logs every connect/disconnect to a CSV you can export
- Runs from the system tray so it stays out of the way
