Auto assign Drive letter don't work anymore?

[Burgurne]

Greetings.
After last "patch-tuesday" my Windows 8.1 don't assign drive letters to hotswaped HDD's and USB keys.
When starting my backupdrive (eSATA), it is now without a drive letter, I can give it one though in disk-management, but before last tuesday, it was given a letter automatic. Same problem when I connect an USB-HDD or an USB-stick.

Is there a way to get back "autoassign of a drive letter"? (don't know the correct word for this function in English).

1. Open Command Prompt in Administrator mode (right click on Start button for a shortcut)
2. Type "diskpart" to enter Microsoft DiskPart
3. At the DiskPart prompt, type: "automount enable"
