    Windows 10 can't read SD Cards properly


    I have an internal SD card reader that detects all SD cards/micro SD cards as write only. They are not. I've verified this on another computer.I also have a USB SD card reader. The computer plays the device detected sound twice but no new drive shows up.I've uninstalled the drivers for both the SD card itself and the USB SD card reader.there was a similar question posted. I followed those steps but I still have this issue.

    :)

    Cant read the SD card

    Hello,

    Oftentimes, a corrupted device can result to issues in reading your SD card. For us to isolate the case further and determine the appropriate resolution, provide answers to the following questions:

    • Have you checked if other external devices/accessories are properly detected on your device?
    • Can you confirm if the SD card is being detected on another device aside from the one that you're using?
    • What procedures have you taken so far?

    As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter by following these steps:

    • Press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.
    • Choose Troubleshooting.
    • Click on View All option on the left pane.
    • Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompt to run the troubleshooter.

    This tool checks the hardware connected to your computer for common issues and gives details on how to rectify them. If there are any suggestions given by the troubleshooter, you may try those and check if it helps.

    We will wait for your response so we can help you further with this issue.

    Windows 10 not reading SD card

    Windows 10 will not read my SD cards. I have tried updating the drivers and other suggestions to no avail. I also have a small SD card that needs an adapter and plugs into a usb port. It doesn't read this either.
