An easy way to record whatever an usb device is sending?

I have a docking station, that sends a cmd prompt and then quickly closes, when powered on and attached to a pc.

 

When the doc is not rebooted, it may not work when the pc is reattached. So I wanted to try to manually run such command and see if it fix the thing... The problem is knowing whatever is launching at the boot of the dock.

 

I know that there are usb hardware analyzers but they're bloody expensive, as for software, they tend to be complicated & need time investment.

 

So an easy way to record whatever it's sending as a cmd prompt?

But it doesn't show whatever cmd prompt is executing kr am I wrong?

Use something like Process Hacker, set it to highlight starting/stopping processes for 10 seconds, plug the dock in and see what comes and goes. 

 

It's likely something the driver does when it sees it, the dock itself should not have the ability to run something on the host machine.
