Sandisk SD card not recognized in Win 10 Pro

My SD card plugged into a 4-port ONN hub on my Windows laptop is not being recognized or even able to be reformatted. My previous laptop, which died, seemed to read it just fine. I get this error message from the Device Manager.

Device SWD\WPDBUSENUM_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_SanDisk&Prod_SDDR-113&Rev_9412#000000009412&0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b} requires further installation.

I tried dskchk D: /f with the same kind of error.

What should I do to fix this?

Honestly you should test it on another pc/memory reader to eliminate the factors that your card reader or pc are faulty.

Thanks, or buy another SD card to try in the same reader.

The first thing you should try is bypassing the USB hub entirely. Connect the SD card reader directly to one of the built-in USB ports on your laptop. Hubs, especially cheaper ones, can sometimes cause communication or power issues that prevent storage devices from working properly. If that doesn’t help, head into Device Manager, find the device under either “Disk Drives” or “Other devices,” and uninstall it. After uninstalling, remove the SD card, restart your computer, and then plug it back in.

Another step worth trying is the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. Even though it’s somewhat hidden in recent versions of Windows, you can still access it by pressing Win + R, typing msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic, and following the prompts. There are several potential solutions for the “SD card not recognized Windows” error.

USB card readers are < $10 postage paid on fleabay. I have one and it works fine. I use it to copy data from SD cards etc to hard disks or USB sticks.
