Laptop SD Card Slot Not Working

Hello Microsoft Community,

I have been having troubles with my built in SD card reader on my laptop ever since the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 (My laptop is a Dell Latitude E5530 if that helps). I have contacted Microsoft Support/Chat multiple times and they have not been
able to help me find a solution to this problem...

When I insert an SD card into the SD card slot, my laptop recognizes it, but when I go to open the SD card I get the following message:





The inserted SD card works on all other devices, but when I insert it into this particular laptop, it is displayed as 0/0 bytes.





I was having this same issue a few months ago, and was able to fix it by restoring my laptop to a previous version (before the Fall Creators Update). Unfortunately, one day after logging on to my laptop, the Fall Creators Update automatically began to update
and I have not been able to go back...

I have tried mostly everything that I can think of, and nothing has worked. I appreciate any help or suggestions...

Thanks,

-Robert

 

PC won't read certain SD cards (Problem is with PC, NOT card)


I had a similar problem with my Laptops SD Card Reader, it's only 3 years old, but no cover on the SD slot.
The answer was to carefully clean the SD Card Reader contacts, and indeed the SD card contacts.
They seem to be very sensitive to contamination.

Not had any problems since.

That was one of the first things that I tried.
