Windows 10: sd card reader not working since win 11 upgrade

Hi folks. I have a lenovo s340 with 16gb ram.Since I upgraded to win 11 recently, the unbuilt sd card reader is not working.I have applied windows updates, I have also used the Intel and lenovo tools to apply any available updates but to no avail.There are a bunch of items in device manager which drivers cannot be found for, I assume it would be one of them but there is nothing obvious as to which item is for what. Windows and the lenovo and Intel tools also find nothing.Please can somebody help?Many thanks.

SD card/SD card reader no longer working

Hi. New to this so not sure of category.
I have a Lenovo G70. Windows 10, 64bit
My SD card reader has stopped working.
In Device Manager, the SD card is not listed.
I can't format the card as it is not listed.
I cannot locate the card at all as it is not listed anywhere.
I've tried chkdsk and get 'Cannot open volume for direct access'
I don't even have the icon displaying when micro SD card is inserted.
It did work previously but I had errors. Scanning and fixing did not help.
I place the SD card in my Android phone and it works fine.
Please help!
Thank you for any assistance.

 

SD card/SD card reader no longer working

Bradleyb, in your Device Manager do you have anything listed in Storage Controllers? I get an entry for MMC/SD. I just checked a 1GB SD card and a 4GB SDHC card, both worked in File Explorer to show their contents.




Side note: A caveat for such cards is that if they are to be used in a camera they need to be formatted in the camera, not in Windows.
