Thanks for taking the time post on the HP Support Forums Page. We meet again 🙂

 

I read that the someone has disabled the memory card reader on your HP Stream Notebook - 11-r050sa laptop and you need assistance to enable them. I'll surely do my best to help.

 

I would like to know the following information to assist you better:

  • How did you come to know the card reader is disabled? Is it not able to read any of the memory cards?

I suggest you to open the device manager.

  • Look for "memory technology devices."
  • If it is present then expand it and check if there is a yellow mark next to it.

Device Manager

 

  • If the card reader is present and still does not read any media then right click on the memory card reader drivers and select uninstall. 
  • Restart the laptop and Windows should automatically install the drivers.
  • If the drivers are missing or do not get added after Windows starts then you may download and install them from this link

I hope this does the trick. Let me know the results. Good luck!
