Hi, My SD card was working fine - but now THE READER is not recognized and not in the device manager. Possible SW Update problem may be cause? SD card works in other PC's. Is there a Diag that can check and try to touch the hardware? Wherein device manager should it be ?? I looked everywhere!! Thanks

Hi, Installed both no change. No SD card listed in Device manager. I have had an error on my Device security Core isolation. Memory integrity is off and I can not turn on. When I do try to turn it on I get an error message that says something about drivers??
