Windows 10: USB PORTS NOT SEEN IN FILE EXPLORER

In WINDOWS 10 PRO, my USB ports were working/being recognized (with drive a drive letter) fine until I did a backup using Paragon Software from one external drive to another external drive. Now, neither of the two USB ports are being seen in Windows File Explorer. However, they are seen at the lower right corner where I can "Eject" the drive (no drive letter) or drives (no drive letter), but they are NOT recognized when I plug them in.

Empty USB ports showing in file explorer

O.k. one question i never knew was did you have a front Card Reader on this PC or you just have USB ports on this PC ? If possible update your system specs as much as possible as it show Win 7 here to. Disk management can change letters which will change the order, but since not sure what USB ports or if any card reader ports i would not suggest yet changing it. Can you take screen shots of file explorer and Disk management and post them here.

I can't figure out HOW to change the system spec. I can SEE the old specs in My Profile. But it won't let me change any of them.
