The solution for me was just updating Ventoy on the USB and recreating the partition table. Some BIOSes are picky, so switching the boot mode (Legacy/UEFI) in Ventoy’s settings can also make a big difference. After that, everything started showing up normally again.

Just to be clear, when you boot to the Ventoy drive, you see the Ventoy menu and can boot to your ISOs? You are using this on a Windows machine? If so then your VENTOY ISO partition is still there, it's just not showing. I've had this happen a LOT, Windows is bad about loosing the drive letter designation for the VENTOY partition.
When you plug it into the Windows PC, launch the START menu and type the word DISK. Choose the menu option CREATE AND FORMAT HARD DRIVE PARTITIONS. Locate the drive that represents your pendrive in the drive list. RIGHT click the VENTOY partition and choose CHANGE DRIVE LETTER OR PATH, add the drive letter the partition used to have back to the partition.
