do a restart and check again
check for any further OS updates
Check in device manager to see if there are any issues with the drivers

You can also roll back to before the anniversary update by opening settings, clicking update and security, recovery, then click the option that mentions rolling back.

Same thing happened on my laptop.Problem was solved partially after two days without me doing anything.
This PC showed 'Removable Drive ' during the problem ,after it got partially solved it showed USB Drive (E:).
Maybe some drivers installed later.

Edit : Also had to go to settings > Devices > Choose autoplay defaults > Ask me every time/open folder to view files.

However , 'This PC 'shows a different drive (D) when I use a usb storage device and clicking the USB Drive E: says insert a disk.
Did the Power Management option given in the link,but no change.
