Windows 10: how do I update drivers for my SanDisk SD card reader?

My SanDisk SD Card reader isn't recognized when plugged into my computer. It is an older version of the card reader and I have Windows 10.

SD card/SD card reader no longer working

Bradleyb, in your Device Manager do you have anything listed in Storage Controllers? I get an entry for MMC/SD. I just checked a 1GB SD card and a 4GB SDHC card, both worked in File Explorer to show their contents.




Side note: A caveat for such cards is that if they are to be used in a camera they need to be formatted in the camera, not in Windows.

I wonder if off hand you know whether or not this model would be compatible for my new inexpensive consumer notebook:

SD card reader driver problem on Windows 10.

Hello Ewald,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



We appreciate the troubleshooting methods performed to resolve the issue on your own. However from the above description, I have noticed you have not tried updating the SD card reader driver from the
Device manager option besides checking the SD card in the
Disk management on connecting to the PC.



You may be facing the above issue due to the non-updated device driver as the device is working in a good condition on every other software but Windows 10.



I suggest you to try updating the SD card reader driver from the Device manager by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Device manager form the context menu.
• Expand Storage Controllers, right click on the card reader driver and select
  Update option from the context menu.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the update to complete.
• Close the window after the update is complete and check if the issue is resolved.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.
