SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Card not being read by card reader

I bought my first SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Card, 64GB, back in November 2017 to be used by my SoloShot3.  It worked fine…for awhile.  After my 3rd filming I placed the card into the adapter that it came with and then proceeded to put it in the card reader and then into my PC, which runs Windows 7.  Same steps I followed previously only this time I kept getting the message “please insert disk into drive E” and the green bar of forever showed up on the very top of my screen where it indicates the file location.  I try everything to get it to work, even a different card reader.  Thinking that I have lost my date, I purchase another card, same type, and film with it.  I follow the same steps and use the same card readers…same message and same green bar of forever.  I am at a loss…do these Cards need a different type of card reader?  Both card readers that I use a fully functional for all my other media.  Thanks for any advice and information.
