    Can't open Realtek Card Reader program for some reason

    I downloaded and installed the program Realtek Card Reader for my laptop but i can't seem to open the program. When i run the setup file a program file isn't being created on the same map, but it is created in Program Files but i can't open it from there,
    nothing happens when i try to run it. I tried to uninstall it and install it again but it's the same. What is the problem?

    Is it the Windows SmartScreen that's blocking it?

    can't run install file ' these files can't be opened'

    How about this?

    Go to Control Panel\Programs\Turn Windows features on or off. Uncheck Internet Explorer 11, click OK, reboot, go back to Turn Windows features on or off, re-check Internet Explorer 11, click OK, and reboot again.
