Loss of SD card reader after Nov Win10 upgrade
From hours of searching, this seems to be a common problem with Win 10, tho' I've only just experienced it after the
November 3 Gb "upgrade ?".
I have a 5 year old Dell Studio XPS 435MT and the Dell support pages were useless. The solution might not be applicable to other makes but after the dozens of other offered solutions that achieved nothing, this worked and moreover has stayed working.
Apologies if it doesn't work for your system but my elation prompts this posting !
I had not only lost the SD card reader but my drives were screwed up after the upgrade and the pc would hang every time I tried some "new" driver for the card reader.
I owe the end of my two days of frustration to the lady who posted here:-

Her link to the OSToto page seems dead but this link was good:-

The d/l of the exe file is free for "Driver Talent" and it identified the missing driver. Installation & a reboot and card reader back in operation.
I guess I should add I've no connection whatsoever with "Driver Talent" beyond being a satisfied user, which can't be said for Win 10.
