SD card does not detected / cannot be readed. Probably it was after one more Windows 10 update.
I have tried to use CardReader driver from HP web-site, but got a error: The Software For This Device Has Been Blocked From Starting Because it is Known To Have Problems With Windows’ Error on Windows (Code 48)
After it I have install CardReader driver from Realtek web-site: This device is working properly. Driver version 10.0.16299.28163. But it still cannot detect SD card, SD card worked at other computers.
Any ideas how to solve it?

I understand that the Realtek PCI-E CardReader does not detect SD cards.
Try updating the computer, this will install the latest updates -
Step 1 Windows Updates -
1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
Step 2 Install updates using HP Support Assistant
- In the search box, type, and open HP Support Assistant.
- Check for updates.
- If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.

@praveen196, there are no updates available not from Windows not from HP Support Assistant.
All updates installed and up to date.
Windows version: Windows 10.0.18363 Build 18363
Realtek PCIE CardReader Driver Version: 10.0.16299.28163
Cards does not detected now.
Do you have ability to try these versions together?
I can collect some artifacts for you to analyse the problem if required. Also I can try to install another version of driver if you will provide me correct version.
Best regards,
Vadim
