How to fix Micro SD Card not showing up in Devices and Drives Windows 10
Hey guy's R4GE VipeRzZ here and today I'm going to show you what to do if a Micro SD card isn't showing up in Devices and Drives. To fix the problem you will need to allocate the Micro SD card volume a drive letter using disk management.
As far as I'm aware this method also works for Windows 11
If you can't understand my accent Closed Captions are available. To turn on the closed Closed Captions click on the settings icon, then click subtitles/CC, and then click English (United Kingdom).

I have gone through MANY damn tutorials and even purchased other cards thinking they were damaged. You're the only one that's managed to help me with my problem. THANK YOU so much! For those with Windows 11 software, this method worked for me. Don't overlook it because it doesn't specify Windows 11 like I nearly did.

The only other thing I can think to suggest is checking device manager to see if there is a yellow warning circle on the storage device if it shows up. If there is a yellow warning circle on the device then right clicking and uninstall the device, and then unplugging and re-plugging it into the computer might fix.

Hey! I have the same issue! I have the yellow warning triangle and I tried uninstalling, unplug/reinsert thing but the triangle is still there (no install appears to have even happened, can I trigger it somehow?) All my drivers are up to date as I’ve been trying to sort this out all evening now, but still no joy..? Any advise? It’s a SanDisk extreme micro sd 64gb. My other sd cards work flawlessly, it’s just this one (brand new!) sandisk that’s giving me a headache. Thanks!

I've got the same problem entirely
I put mine in the computer and as it’s opening it says “please insert the sad card” even thought it’s inserted. Any help?
I've tried multiple adapters and the card does not show up anywhere, even in disk management, and it's not the adapters because I've tried other SD cards with those adapters and they show every time. So how can I reformat or do anything to the SD card if it won't show up anywhere with usable adapters?
hey! what should i do if the option to change drive letter and paths is grayed out?
How can I update sd driver if sd won't show up in android or anywhere in windows 10 (neither device or disk manager)? If it doesn't show, there's nothing to click on. I've tried multiple readers and nothing. They read other sd cards, but not this one. I've not found anything on this particular issue.
Mine is just showing a portion of the card. The other half is on another drive and cannot open up unless I format the SD card. Any help?
my problem is my sd card not working or not showing up because i merge it to my old phone as internal memory but now my old phone is already broken and i cant use it to remerge, i wonder if this method will work? i hope you will reply my comment because i really nned my sd card i want to fix it asap its a 32gb micro sd card
my disk management crashes when i plug in my micro sd. It also crashes file explorer and makes windows disapear until i remove the micro sd.
My micro sd card still does not show up. Disk management does not show the sd card.! Could my sd adapter be faulty? Problem begun when a mobile app called sd made erased the whole sd card.Since then neither mobile nor lap top can read the sd card. Any advice? I am at a total loss. Thank you.
it told me that the disk management console view is not up to date what should i do
I originally dragged the sd card into my windows folder. Now i cant find it. Where is it? I would also like to note I couldn’t find it in the disk management area either.
Mine it is showing in disk management and when I try to change drive letter and paths it says that the system cannot find the file specified

When I tell you I have spent WEEKS on google and random forums trying to figure this out I am being completely serious, you my good sir are a legend!!
Mine does not even show up in device management. It just stopped working when it was into my phone where I used it for like past three years. I never had any problems with it and it's so strange that it just stopped working so randomly. So yeah... any solution for problems like this one?
Sd cards are prone to corruption so I try to never store anything important on them for long. Sometimes a card won't show through disk management, but it does through a data recovery tool. Sometimes a card's drive letter will show in windows explorer, but the sd card is not readable. I find cards connected via usb sticks corrupt more often than through any sd card slot. Most often for me with issues, a card will show, but the storage size of the card won't show,eg In windows, from 'my computer'. The drive is there, but explorer grinds to a halt trying to read it. Recovery tools often also show the sd card as having 'raw' data. If you cannot change the drive letter, try using a different card reader or stick which can occasionally fix issues when the card isn't at fault, and a recovery is not always necessary. As a last resort you could also try another computer or compatible device to try and read it (ignoring any formatting options)
Mine is not letting me change disk path and is showing it as Disk 1
you are the best bro. i have tried several methods, even installed software all to no avail. The moment i just watched your video, and followed the instructions, voila it worked.THANKS 1000 TIMES.

Perfect, this worked. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
whenever I insert my SD card then open disk management disk management wont open it says Loading disk configuration information...
the ONLY VIDEO that REALLY fixed my problem MY GOD. I had my SD card reader which was wokring only on the standard SD reader and not the micro SD one. I tried uninstalling from device management, rebooting, reinstalling drivers as all the websites were suggesting and nothing. I thought that the micro SD card reader was just broken. Not even Ugreen suggestions before returning the item were suggesting this. THANK YOU. I was about to return this SD card reader. This issue is so stupid. Also me on Windows 11.

There is a small possiblity that updating your drivers might fix the problem. You can easily update your drivers using this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoaBzpptesuYhLA.html even though the video is for Windows 10 I believe it should work for Windows 11. If that doesn't work then I'm not too sure what else to suggest other than it may be a problem with the SD card its self.
my micro SD doesnt show up on the disk managment pls help
i could not edit the name it is not allowed the sd card shows as a shadow item
My SD card isn’t a single volume. It’s split in multiple disk 5 partitions. I want to wipe it clean via the command prompt and have the card work on full capacity so I can reinstall the information on the card.
before i merge it to my phone theres a warning to my phone saying you need to remerge it if you want to use it to other device but my problem is my phone already dead thats im finding a solution to fix my sd card without remerging it

I've seen this video a dozen times across all channels. Right when i got to the part where it's the partitions and EVERYONE's sd card showed up. Mine does not. 0:42 NADA nothing.
Thanks, this was the exact problem I had. I was using rufus to create bootable USB sticks and on one of the passes I must have accidentally selected the SD card and not the USB stick. I pulled out the SD card to work on a new one and immediately realized my error, haha. I guess since I was writing a new file system to that drive, pulling it out mid-write left it without an assigned letter. The SD card isn't working anymore, so fixing that is my next step!

My card is showing up as "Disk 2" but when I attempt to assign a new drive letter, I get the error: "The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer." I followed those directions to no avail. This is all being done on a Windows 10 computer. The SD card does work on my chromebook however. I don't understand.

Unfortunately my Micro.SD drive does not even appear when I open Disk Management. I even tried ejecting and re-introducing the MicroSD card and nothing. 😭😭😭😭😭
This problem only started after I added the card to a phone, then put it back on the pc. I can explore the contents on the phone, just not on the pc, despite it still recognising it as Broadcom SCSI sd device but not giving it a drive letter. My one doesn't show up in the list at the top, only as 'disk 2' underneath. Changing the drive letter is greyed out, as the drive is mounted. Windows 10's disk management crashes. This *might* be because I am using a laptop sd card slot, and not connecting the sd card to the pc via a usb stick adapter. I usually prefer sd card slots as I find usb sd's wear easily and corrupt cards more often.
Thank you, worked for me. However, after few weeks this issue returns - my SD card disappears and I have to do this proces again, and again. Do you have some trick, how to solve it definitely? Thank you!

Mine is not even showing on the disk management . I saw pictures only once and then it went blank, not showing on cell, lap top, my camera nowhere at all. Is like it didnt exist. Only thing I can think of is maybe my wife put it beside a charger for her fossil watch that uses a magnet and it deleted everything but at least if it would show sd empty or something but it is not detected at all. All contacts are clean it is a new ad card...😩
