CFexpress Type B Card Readers not recognized on Windows 10 PC

Sometime in the last month, my Windows 10 PC has changed. I didn't install any new programs. When I insert my Sony MRW-G1 CFexpress Type B Card Reader, the drive letter isn't displayed on Windows explorer, so I can no longer access the card. I also have a ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SDXC Dual-Slot USB 3.1 Card Reader. The SD Card slot does appear on explorer, but not the CFexpress Card slot. Both of the card readers do work on a different windows 10 PC that I own. Looking at the drivers that the PCs use, the versions of the drivers are different. Both PCs have current Windows 10 updates installed. I contacted Sony and they suggested I call MS. I called MS and an agent took control of my PC and rebooted my PC, after which I could no longer see what was going on. Several hours later, I was able to log into my PC, but it still doesn't work. I have googled for hours and can't find drivers, or a resolution to the issue, but see a number of other people having a similar issue. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue?

Update - the drivers that are used on the bad PC were updated on 10/29 (disk.sys, EhStorClass.sys, partmgr.sys) along with a lot of other drivers. I checked windows update history and there was one windows update run on 10/29 -

2023-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5031445)

On the good PC, those files are older versions and that update was never applied. I tried uninstalling it, but the option wasn't available. So, I have no options at this point.

Reversible USB - Type C

I wonder if there will be Type-A to Type-C and Type-B to Type-C cables. If there is, great. If there isn't, it might as well be a different name for the Lightning connector and it will go the way of Betamax.

I never liked how USB 3's four additional pins were superimposed on the USB 2 connector. Yeah, it is backwards compatible but something has to be said about the costs.
