SD card failure

Hi Andrew,

I would need to ask few questions so I can isolate your concern properly. Kindly answer the following:

• Did you get a specific error message?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?
• What's the current build of your computer? Press Windows key + R and then type winver.
• Did you try to run a full system scan using your anti-virus? Can you tell us the result?
• Does your SD card has a write protection?

Meanwhile, you may try these troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. Open Settings> Update & Security> Troubleshoot> Hardware and Devices> Run the troubleshooter.

Step 2: Check SD Card in Disk Management.

1. Open Disk Management.
2. Your SD card will appear as a removable disk.
3. Check if it has a drive letter.
4. If it does not show anything, right click the SD card and then select “Change Drive Letter and Paths”.
5. Click “Add” and select a drive letter, then click “OK”.

Step 3: Update SD card driver.

1. Open Device manager.
2. Find your SD card and right click it.
3. Select Properties.
4. Click the driver tab and then select Update Driver.

Note: You may need to use a keyboard and mouse to connect to your laptop to perform the said steps if it does not allow on tablet mode.

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.
