I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest it is a Micro$oft 
"upgrade" problem.  My home Winoze server is up 24/7 (yes I know, ughh 
run a real os ), barring power outages out here in the sticks.

I do not know how many updates my computer installed since its last 
reboot but; I do know that I have had trouble for the last week 
accessing usb drives.  Part of the time they exist and part of time they 
don't according to windoze.

Not much help but; a little more information.
