Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there, I have a HP Laptop 15 dw3041nq and the card reader is...iffy. to say the least. When I plug in a card, the card will not be read unless I'm going manually into Device Manager, disable the reader, wait a few seconds, then enable it again. Is there something bad related to my hardware, considering that the card is read just fine after re-enabling? Is it a driver issue, even though I'm running on an older version since the latest versions made the reader unresponsive? And, most importantly, if anyone will reply, have you found a real solution besides "Check for updates" or "Send the laptop to service" or "Run dism and sfc" or anything that isn't solving my question? Thanks in advance.
