That’s the very first music video I remember seeing. I was probably 5 or 6? I’m afraid my little brain was permanently traumatized by it like Jim Morrison with the dead Native Americans he saw on the road.

Is there something in the circuit that's scanning to look for a connection?
The only time I experience this is with my wireless system. If the receiver is looking for the transmitter and I have the head unmuted, it will go into this loop of popping until I pair it. Pairing it is as noisy as plugging in a cable, so I usually mute until I know I have a connection.
I have no clue how any of this would apply to an interface, though.

uhm, I guess, you meant Tone Port KB37? it's bus-powered, right? bus-powered interfaces have certain limitations and commonly not found in professional recording environment because of this. if you're running power through the same USB cable you use to transfer the audio, well, bad things can happen sometimes.
why did this happen? well, an additional driver or service that you got with your other interface might worsen the things up enough to notice. next time do a system restore point before installing something to your working audio machine. there's a chance, you have one created automatically, so check this if you're sure, you won't use the new interface.
the other chance is something in cabling layout. like you've moved some cable and now monitor cable and USB cable are slightly in a different manner.
this all said, all digital stuff sometimes just goes bad. I had to replace my trusty MacBook Early 2015, as in one night it suddenly stopped bearing the real-time audio and nothing fixed it, like a clean re-install of any version of OS. what it was? IDK. maybe, the system firmware was updated.

drivers or a sync problem coul;d be both uninstall the drivers for both units reinstall the one you wnat to use , IF you are using ASIO check the settings on your interface , this is a SYNC problem 90% of the time .
Make sure you have completely removed the drivers of the device you are not using or even better all software and drivers of both devices.
After that, remove all files and folders that did not disappear after the uninstallation. Do that by searching your PC HD for folders and files with the
name of the software or software maker and delete them manually. Download CCleaner freeware and run it. Click registry, tick all boxes and press "scan for issues". You will see a list building up. When it is finished, click "review selected items" and then press "fix". Repeat this until no issues are found. Restart and install the drivers you like. It is a good idea to keep Ccleaner for all sort of things, I run this software since forever and had zero issues.

Roll back to your handy Veeam image backup that you made the week before you added the new hardware!
What, you don't do an automatic Veaam image backup weekly to your NAS? (it's FREE software and uber-reliable!)
Wait - you don't have a RAID-array NAS in your home, protecting all your data eternally??

Have you tried turning it off, and never turning it back on again? I find this typically solves any computer problem I’m having. Sorry, that’s all I got!
Right click on the task bar and then chose task manager. You may have to hit detail but you should see a startup tab. There maybe a program that is enabled to start. Right click something related to an audio program and disable it.
You can also hit windows key + R, type cmd and then on that command window type systeminfo and then return. It will spit out info about your PC. Maybe you can send a screenshot of something related to audio. You probably do not want to share the screenshot of the entire output on the internet.
Or right click on the volume icon and playback devices. I do not have a new windows 10 machine except my work one and I can't share the screenshot on that but here is what it looks on a Windows 8 machine that we use for playing mp3s and videos but should be similar to a Windows 10 and disable the one that you do not want to use. If you are running of USB, can you get a USB dock that is powered separately

Thanks everyone for the input.
The problem continued to happen when I got home yesterday and I started to take some suggestions.
Its not a laptop, but there was a mic input in one of the sound settings that I turned off. I then turned off all the start programs I didn't even realize were running, one of which was the old (newer) interface. Before restarting I used the Windows sound problem wizard (did that 2X previously to no avail), but this time is stopped the popping.
I rebooted the computer and so far, so good.
Problem has hopefully been solved.
If not I will dive into the other suggestions. I'm thinking it had something to do with the previous interface still booting up, but we'll see...

One thing you can try, find your operating systems device manager, look in control panel, device manger, and completely remove both usb interfaces, and all the software you might have loaded for them, then restart the computer, and check devise manger again to make sure they are gone. then reconnect the interface you want to use, and install any software that came with it.Set your pc to "never sleep".
Sleep mode turns off power cosumption to certain devices.
Some devices might work better if you just plug it in and let windows load a driver for it.
But if you are sure that the pop sound is not a metronome clicking a tempo, then it may be a sign to you that your computer is not going to help you make music.
Why do you want to interface with a stupid machine anyway.
Make music something to hear again, and try to not look at it. use your talents and not be a slave organ grinder monkey for Microsoft.
That little monkey with the earing and the make up, ya buddy, that's his own hair.
