  1. Windows 10 won't read or recognize my SD card


    I just upgraded my HP computer desktop to Windows 10 from Window 8.1 as my hard drive failed and had to install a new one. Inserting an SD card in Windows 8.1 worked perfectly, it would open PMB, where I store my photos, and I was all set. Now I cannot get the computer to read my SD card from my camera. Is there a way to fix this?. I need step by step help with Windows 10 since I am not 'tech savvy." I have researched this on various Microsoft forums and have tried all the fixes I understood, still no luck, does not show up in explorer, does not troubleshoot.

    :)

    Windows 10 recognizes my SD Card as a local drive

    Jon,

    You posted that you would try the suggested steps by Tryx3. May we have an update if the suggested steps have resolved the issue about your SD card being recognized as a fixed drive in Windows 10?

  3. Win10 doesn't recognize SD-card removal

    Could you provide a little more detail as to how you know that Windows is not recognizing the removal of the SD card? What are you seeing specifically that leads you to this conclusion?

    Also, could you please try this:

    Start with SD card inserted.
    Open a command prompt and run the command "diskpart". Wait for the "DISKPART>" prompt.
    Run the command "list disk".
    All disks (including the SD card) should be listed. It should be obvious which the SD card is by its size.
    Remove the SD card.
    Run "list disk" again.
    Does the SD card still show up?
    Run "exit" to exit from diskpart.
    Close the command prompt.

    Windows 10 does not recognize 128gb micro sd card

    Hi Steve,

    To better assist you, provide us with the following information:

    • Do any other SD cards work on your Windows 10 laptop?
    • Have you tried checking if your Kingston SD10VG2 works on other computers? If not, we suggest you to do so.
    • Were there any changes made on your laptop prior to this concern?

    For possible resolution, check if the SD card is listed in Disk Management by following the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + X.

    2. Click on Disk Management.

    3. Check if Kingston SD10VG2
    is listed.

    If the SD card is not listed in Disk Management, we recommend you to check
    for an updated driver from the manufacturer and have the latest version installed. After ensuring that the correct driver is installed, check if the device is recognized in the Device Manager.

    Let us know how it goes.
