Windows 10: Windows 10 does not detect SD card

Hello, so I bought a brand new 32 GB sd card to install an os into a raspberry pi I was using raspberry pi imager. when the program was writing the os to the sd card a text message appeared 'Error when writing the operative system', the window closed and it suddenly disapeared. Suddenly it was un-detectable, I re-inserted the sd card into the SDHC port and a text window appears 'Please insert a disc into SDHC :F' I searched it in the device manager and it shows that it is connected, but the drive does not recognize that there is a SD card connected into the SDHC drive. Apparently the hardwar

SD card detection.

I have a micro SD card that my phone detects and can access but when I plug it into the PC with a USB/SD card reader the PC can't open it. It appears in My PC as a drive but with no space consumed bar on it. When I double click to open the PC hangs and sometimes loses it's screen. What could be the issue?

 

My Lumia 635 is not detecting SD card

Hi,

You may try the following steps:

• Try to remove the SD card and insert it again, make sure it's seated well without using too much force.
• If it still does not recognize the SD card, you may try to connect your SD card to PC via a card reader and format.
• Try using a different SD card and check if your Lumia 635 will recognize it.

 

SD Card

Hi, I hope you're doing good today.

The SD card won't show up in Windows 10?

If that's the case please give a try to the following troubleshooting, if not please let me know.

1. Try SD Card on Another Device

Sometimes it is the computer interface that breaks, rather than SD card. In this case, just connect your SD card to another computer or Android phone. Alternatively, try another SD card to check the interface. There is no shortcut if you want to test the SD
card not recognized or working on Windows 10.

2. Check SD Card in Disk Management

If your SD card doesn’t show up in Windows 10 File System, but in Disk Management, check whether there is a drive letter for the card. Follow the steps below to add a drive letter:

Step 1. Right-click “My Computer” and select “Disk Management”.

Step 2. In Disk Management, your SD card will appear as a removable disk. Check if it has a drive letter like D or E.

Step 3. If not, right-click the SD card and select “Change Drive Letter and Paths”.

Step 4. Click “Add” and select a drive letter, then click “OK”. Your SD card would be working in File System along with local disks.

Check SD Card in Disk Management

3. Remove SD Card Write Protection

There is a known point that writes protected SD card will not be displayed on other devices, except the original one. So if you did lock your SD card before, the first thing is to remove write protection from SD card. Check the lock switch beside the card or
use disk utility. It can also fix SD card not showing up on Windows 10.

4. Reinstall/Update SD Card Driver

When you update Windows 10, it will automatically renew all device drivers. But if you still have a problem with a device, it is still well worth a try to update or reinstall the driver. Here’s how to update/reinstall the driver to repair (micro) SD card not
detected on Windows 10:

Step 1. Click “Start” and enter “Device Manager”. Select it from the results.

Step 2. Find your SD card and right click it, then select “Update Driver”.

Step 3. Select “Search automatically for updated driver software”. If there is no new driver, try to look for one on the manufacturer’s website and follow the installation wizard.

Step 4. If it doesn’t work to update driver, just right-click the device and select “Uninstall”. Then restart your computer, and Windows will reinstall the driver by itself.

5. Enable SD Card Reader

Disabled SD card will not show up on Windows 10. The steps to enable this function are the same as above. First, find your SD card in “Device Manager” and right click it. If it shows “Disable Device”, then you have already enabled SD card reader and there is
no need to do anything. If not, just select the option “Enable Device”. Then Windows 10 could detect your SD card normally.

6. Run Hardware and Device Troubleshooter

Troubleshooter is a built-in repair tool in Windows 10. It helps to fix common computer problems. You can also use it to solve (micro) SD card not detected on Windows 10 problem.

Step 1. Click “Settings”> “Update & security”> “Troubleshooter”.

Step 2. Select “Hardware and Devices”, then click “Run the troubleshooter”. After detecting the problem, the troubleshooter will fix it automatically.

Regards.
