Code 31 (Windows caot load the drivers) For Some Portable Devices

I have 3 physical USB drives.

A) Flash drive

B) Physical exteal drive (self powered)

C) Physical exteal drive (wall powered)

All but one of the partitions on these drives exhibits the yellow exclamation:

This device is not working properly because Windows caot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

Object Name not found.

The only partition that doesn't exhibit the error is the only logical partition - all others are primary partitions.

The drives are available fine to windows explorer and background services (such as the backup software)

They all show up as HEALTHY in Disk Management.

The issue can be solved by restarting the machine. "Scan for hardware changes" or "Update driver software" (software is already up to date) don't help.

This problem is intermittent (maybe after waking up from sleep). The only reason it bothers me is that if I try to remove these portable devices when they are in this error mode I will get a blue screen.

How can I try to determine the cause of the problem?
