I know a lot of users who have upgraded to Windows 10 from windows 8.1 and are in panic after facing the issues thereafter. One of the major issues they used to face after Windows 10 upgrade is that their SD card is not being recognized or detected by the system. After they insert their SD card, the SD Memory card drive doesn’t seems to be working. Usually this type of symptom arises in case of three major types of issues:
- Broadcom Sd Card Reader Driver Windows 10 Pro
- Sd Card Reader Driver For Toshiba
- Broadcom Sd Card Reader Driver Windows 10 64 Bit
- System issue
- Driver issue
- Device issue
This package installs the software (Card Reader driver) to enable the following device: - Realtek Card Reader Driver. To my surprise the same smart card reader is detected, Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5800 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor. I am able to attach this USB device to Virtualbox, and I can also see the Card Reader from the device manager and 3rd party smart card reader software we use on the windows 10 VM.
Considering the above types of issues, we have listed out few of the fixes you can adopt to solve the issue.
Fixes if SD Card Reader doesn’t seem to work
Run Windows Hardware Troubleshooter Utility
- Click on Start
- Open settings Tab from the search bar of Windows 10
- Select Troubleshooting
- Type Hardware Troubleshooterand click on it to start troubleshooting.

Update the necessary Drivers
If the first method doesn’t work, you can visit the manufacturer’s website, download the Windows 10 drivers and manually update them. You may also install them in compatibility mode. Other than the manual method, you can also go to Start -> Go to settings -> Select Windows Update.
Here you can select the recent updates available to download. You can download the driver and then extract all. You can run the setup file thereafter to install the driver.

In the next step you can go to the properties section and then select compatibility tab. You can run the program in compatibility mode. Select previous version of Windows supported by the software, from the drop down list. Once your driver is installed, you can restart your system to see if the SD card reader is accessible or not.
Change the Drive letter
- Open Disk Management
- From Action > All Tasks > Select Change Drive letter and Path
- If there are no drive letter assigned, add a drive letter and path
Other Possible Fixes
- Fix card or card reader problem:
Sometimes the issue is with the card itself. If the card is damaged or corrupt, it will not be recognized by the system. To cross check your doubt, you can try the same card in a different PC. If the problem persists then it’s the card itself and not the system. To fix this you may try cleaning the card, or replacing the card.
Just like the card, it may be sometimes the card reader also. At first instance, try cleaning it to check twice. If the problem persists then go with next option.

- Fix System setting
Sometimes, the card reader is disabled in the settings “BIOS”. Cross verify to make sure that the option is enabled.
