I have 6 MicroSD cards and 4 USB sticks/adapters that have the slot in that you put the microSD card in
All 6 microSDs are fully functioning, still in their original formats from purchase (fat32/ ntfs). All of the USB stick adapters work too. I've tested all the SD cards in each USB stick adapter on two laptops and they work fine, I can move files to and from the SD card onto the laptops and vice versa
My windows 10 PC however simply refuses to recognise them.
These are the only USB devices my PC won't read. I have several external HDDs, printer, scanner, xbox controller, mobile phones etc that the PC recognises and reads without any issues whatsoever.
Does anybody know why it simply won't recognise these adapters? I'm assuming that the PC is more likely having a problem reading microSD cards rather than the issue being with the plastic USB stick adapters. I've tried every USB port (front and back) and the same thing happens; which is two messages popping up;
1) "You need to format the disc in drive F before you can use it" but then a second later that box closes and another box opens;
2) "Please insert a disc into USB drive F". When this box opens, a blank 'file explorer' window also opens.
I therefore cannot even format it as the PC is choosing to recognise the drive for 1 second and then chooses not to recognise it at all.
I've installed EaseUS to see if that can view the drive but it cannot.
I'm completely out of ideas. Surely a PC that cost hundreds of pounds shouldn't make such hard work of a fking micro SD card!!!!!
