HP Recommended
Product: EliteBook 8560w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Installed the standard drivers from the Win8 drivers page and it worked flawlessly for a couple of months but after a recent Windows Update I am no unable to safely remove my SD media.

 

I tried to roll back the windows update and reinstall the driver and then adding the registry key and it worked for some time until windows decided to update again.

 

I then googled further and found the following workaround to be successful:

---

Open Computer Management
Click "Device Manager"
Expand "Disk drives"
Right click the drive
Click "Properties"
Select the "Details" tab
In the "Property" drop-down box select "Driver key"
( The value shown should look a lot like this: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0005 )
Right-click the value and click "Copy"

 

Open Registry Editor (or run "RegEdit.exe")
Browse to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
Browse on to the folder from the "Driver key" value.
Add a string named "DriverPolicySet" with the value: 2

---

 

The above seemed to work for a couple of months, albeit I had to rollback and repeat every couple of weeks.

 

Now things have changed and Windows Update (I'm just blaming Windows Update out of previous experience) has decided to become revengeful on me and this time I cannot roll back. Removing Winsows Update's driver or reinstalling the original driver does not help and I am unable to google any similar bug descriptions (aka subject).

 

Any hints?
