Micro SD cards

Hi Anthony,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft community Forums.

Are you using a standard card reader or a micro disc adaptor?



1. Try to open the files by taking the ownership and permissions, by following the below steps:



a. Right click on the SD card, and select ‘Properties’.

b. Click on ‘Security tab’.

c. Click ‘Edit’ to change the permissions.

d. Click ‘Advanced’ for special permissions or advanced settings.



2. Try to open the files, and if the issue persists, share drive to get permissions by following the below steps:



a. Right click the SD card.

b. Select ‘Properties’.

c. Select ‘Share’ tab, and click ‘Advanced’.

d. Select ‘Share this folder’.

e. Click ‘Permissions’ button.

f. Add ‘Everyone’ and select ‘Full control’.

g. Click on ‘Apply’ button.



3. Change the drive letter of SanDisk micro SD card by following the below steps:



a. Press ‘Windows key + R’ together to open ‘Run command’.

b. Type ‘diskmgmt.msc’ without quotes, and press enter.

c. Right click on the SanDisk micro SD card, and select ‘Change drive letter and paths’.

d. Assign a new drive letter.



Note: Don’t assign a driver letter that is existing already.



4. Scan the SanDisk micro SD card to check viruses.



Hope it helps.

If no go, I would suggest exchanging the Micro-SD adapter (if it came with it) and/or the card.
