Windows 10: Rename, move, delete files on a SD card are slow on Surface Pro 5

I have a 128 GB Samsung SD card in my Surface Pro 5 to store pictures, music files on this SD card.


Recently I found when I delete, rename, copy, or move a file on the SD card, it is very slow. And the process bar always stuck at around 99% for a few seconds then the process donebefore 99%, it's processing fast and smooth.There's no issue when I use cmd to do these operations.


And there's no issue on the internal disk of the Surface Pro.

I have used this SD card for three years, and I read/write the files on this SD card frequently. This issue happened about 2 months ago.


Need help, thanks.

Booting Windows 10 on MacBook Pro via SD Card

I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro and I've always had this problem with storage. Sure, 128 GB is definitely enough, but having a Windows 10 partition at the same time completely reduces the amount of storage required for normal day to day usage for me. I found a solution where I would have an external MicroSD card with an adapter that fits in flush within the SD card slot so that it's portable as if it was never there. Although I'm aware that an SD card would slow things down, I still would like to boot Windows off of the 128 GB MicroSD card. After searching around the internet for a while, I still haven't found a way to do it. Here is what I have so far:

• A Windows 10 ISO image
  
• A working VM of Windows 10 (will be deleted later)
  
• Using a program called WintoUSB, the entire VM to my SD card
  
• A .dmg file of the SD card contents
  

The SD card I have does contain the full suite of the required Windows drivers. I haven't tried because I haven't been able to yet, but from the given information, all I need to know at the moment is how to boot from the SD card. If it is required, I am OK with reinstalling any software or doing any steps over again.

 

Can't delete files from sd card.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



1: What is the exact error code/error message you have received when you try to delete/format the files?



2: Is that happening with all the files or with any specific file?



3: Which Operating System are you using?



If you are trying to format the SD card, you may try the following steps.



Please backup your files before proceeding with this step. This will delete all the files saved in the SD Card





Step 1:

Insert the microSD card into your computer card reader. If you do not have a card reader, use a USB card reader to add this capability. If your card reader does not accept microSD cards, insert the card into an SD card adapter
to convert it to standard SD card size. When doing so, make sure the adapter's lock slider is in the unlocked position.





Step 2:

Click the "Start" button, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage" to open the Computer Management dialog box.



Step 3:

Click "Disk Management" from the left panel.



Step 4:

Right-click the microSD card from the list of storage devices and select "Format."



Step 5:

Click the "File System" drop-down menu and select the file system you wish to use. If the card will be used in personal electronic devices, choose "FAT32" or "FAT." If the card will only be used on your computer, choose "NTFS."



Step 6:

Click "OK" to format the microSD card.





Reply with the required information if the issue is not resolved with the above mentioned steps.



Hope it helps.

Cannot copy music files to SD card

Dear Arnie,

Thanks for your suggestions and see below...

Put card into surface and run scan; all ok

Files will not copy to music folder (either mp3 or jpeg or excel) I tried all sorts of files ad none would work

I did copy a music file to "videos" on the card and it copied perfectly (since deleted it)

It seems the "MUSIC" folder on the card is locked to copying when the card is in the phone because I CAN copy music files to it when it is in the surface pro.

Music is default to save to SD card

I cannot see to add music in groove as I already have over 7500 songs on my 200GB card.

Many thanks,

A.
