Can't open USB on Windows 8

Windows 8 Pro
I had the Classic Shell installed that gave me back a Start Button.

I uninstalled it using the CPL.
Now I can't open any USB flash drive.

Tried that. (Drivers)

I was having no problem until I uninstalled that "Classic Shell".
Also tried the obvious, different flash drive.

Did a System Restore and I still have the same problem although I Classic Shell Start Button is back.

Now, reinstall classic shell and see if the problem persists (it may have nothing to do with classic shell).
Should have been clearer.
The Classic Shell came back with the System Restore and the problem is there.

Maybe its not the CS removal but its an awful coincidence.
You were clear.  I am saying reinstall Classic Shell (now with the problem) and see what happens.
I did.
Installed OK.
However, still can't open flash drive.

Have no problem in SAfe Mode.

I use CCleaner also.
We'll give it a try.
Should be interesting.
