Chosen Solution
My SD card reader (Realtek) won’t work if my laptop is already running & I insert an SD card. However, if I put the card in and reboot the laptop it will allow me to access the card. I couldn’t find it in the device selection, but I’m using a Dell Inspiron 5559 running Windows 10. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver from Dell’s website, removed and Dell driver and downloaded a driver directly from Realtek, but nothing I do makes the card reader work except rebooting the computer, which is becoming a real pain in the butt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
1a) See if there is a BIOS update for your dell at support.dell.com 1b) Go into the Dell BIOS and perform a restore to defaults (make sure you note your original settings before you restore). The settings may be corrupt. 2) Are you sure you used Realtek’s own drivers at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/down…
