Try this:

Device Manager, select View, select View Hidden Devices, and then for each Generic-volume 
entry under Storage Volumes, right click and select update and let Windows try to 
find a better driver for the Generic volume. 

If Windows says it doesn't a better driver, that's okay, but it will probably update 
at least one of the entries. 

Then close down the device manager and reboot. Problem should be gone.
