Windows 10: windows 10 card reader

I have win 10 and cannot find a card reader that will work on my new computer. When I had 7, 8 and 8.1 I never had this problem. Please let me know how I can get a card reader that will work on 10. I have a digital camera and cannot get my pictures into my computer. Help!!!

I've just upgraded to Windows 10 on my Dell laptop and I've been having problems with the Realtek card reader - see Realtek Card Reader Keeps Disappearing . You might find some tips in that link.
