The USB Drive Scan app keeps repeating, any ideas?

as test:
USB Drive Scan - Ask Me with two ext drives plugged in. 
My Norton 360 is quiet with wake/machine restart. 
USB Drive Scan - Ask Me => USB Drive Scan prompts upon seeing ext drive.  

as test:
USB Drive Scan - On with plugging in ext drive => USB Drive Scan starts sans prompt 

USB Drive Scan - Ask Me with plugging in an ext drive

Every time I wake my PC up from sleep mode, a Norton "USB Drive Detected" window appears. After ensuring no other USB device was connected to my Windows 10 system, testing has revealed that Norton is reacting to the USB dongle for the Logitech keyboard and mouse. A window appears asking me if I should scan the USB device (but no name/identity of that device is listed):

When I reconnected the USB cable to my APC UPS, Norton did not react. This flaw between Norton and Logitech's USB dongle needs to be addressed.

Your Norton product has detected a USB drive connected to your computer. We recommend that you scan the USB drive for threats before you access it.

By default, your Norton product alerts you each time it detects a USB drive connected to your computer. If you do not want your Norton product to prompt you for action, you can change the settings.

Configure USB Drive Scan settings
