    File explorer cannot open my micro sd


    I'm trying to use my micro sd card with my w10 computer. I'm running the card through a MicroSD to USB adapter, but file explorer cannot open it. When I click on the microSD, it seems like file explorer searches the drive, with a green bar in the file path near the top. The green bar never finishes, and the background of my pc goes entirely black until the microSD is removed. What is causing this and is there any way to fix it?

    :)

    Micro sd to sd card adaptor...

    Wow... That's expensive considering that the opposite adapter sells for about a dollar.

    This looks much cheaper. I believe does the same job. And it should be much cheaper. If I am not mistaken these are passive adapters.
