Storage devices suddenly classified as Unspecified, Category:Other and USB memory sticks have Unspecified icon (Windows 8.1)

After a recent reboot, Windows 8.1 has done something peculiar to my storage devices. In the Devices and Printers window, they have all been moved to the classification of "Unspecified" and are only listed as "Device" with a very generic box icon. That same icon appears for my flash drives (not the regular drives) in the This Computer window, overriding both the normal generic windows icon and icons set by the autorun configuration file. I have rebooted, unplugged and replugged in the USB devices and tried to get Windows Update to update the drivers, which it says they are already the latest, I have reformatted one flash drive and I have deleted and rebuilt my icon cache.

Worth noting that I can access and use all of the devices just fine but this is still unexpected and abnormal behavior that I would like to know the cause of and get fixed.

My drives, with flash drive (X) showing the wrong icon.

The icon the flash drive (X) used to have.

Devices and Printers showing all of my storage devices as unspecified devices (ignore the warning sign on two of the devices, it is an unrelated issue and is just bad timing of my taking the screen shot.)

EDIT: Per comment below, it would appear at least 4 other people are having this problem today or at the very least, very recently.
