Windows 11 does not recognize the SD card reader.

Hello, after installing Windows 11 without a Microsoft account on a PC that should normally be unable to run it, I realize that the card reader is not recognized. Restarting the PC didn't help. Thank you for your response and have a nice day. whatt02

Hello,
The old card reader driver is likely not compatible.
Check for any alerts in the device manager or if there is a driver available from the PC manufacturer.
Hello and thank you for the response; the device manager doesn't express anything in terms of queries; the USB bus controllers have the best drivers according to Windows; this SD card reader does not exist in the disk manager. And I haven't found a driver corresponding to the Aspire F15 laptop on the Acer site (or driver if I'm not mistaken). I will continue to search... Have a good day. Whatt02
Hello,
Windows key + X
Device Manager
Do you have a section --> Storage devices or Disk drives?
Also check if there is a section --> Other devices?
If so, what is the problematic device?
Example image:
Hello, my apologies, I didn't see the yellow signals from the device manager. There are other devices with 5 subfolders - PCI data acquisition and signal processing controller - SM bus controller - PCI memory controller - simplified communications PCI controller and - PCI device. The drivers are not installed and Windows cannot find them.
The complete specifications of the PC are:
Computer DESKTOP-58DPNK1
Manufacturer Acer
Model Aspire F5-573G
Type x64-based PC
System SKU Aspire F5-573G_115C_1.27
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2901 MHz, 2 core(s), 4 logical processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Insyde Corp. V1.27, 26/05/2017
I would have liked to copy a screenshot of the device manager, but it never worked. Thanks again. Have a good evening. Whatt02
Hi
I have the same one, an Aspire F15 F5 573G with the same version of BIOS and W11 25H2
This W11 comes from an upgrade from W10
The SD card reader works without me having done anything special
You have this version of W11 and have you done one or more Windows Updates?
I have no alerts in the device manager

Good evening, below are the data

Hello and thank you for the response, which is too complex for my very limited abilities in this area; I haven't gotten far in the process because I never found the "chipset" driver. Thanks anyway for all this late-night research. Have a good day. Whatt02
I didn't get far in the process because I never found the "chipset" driver. All the links in blue are for the drivers I created for you to download.
--> Chipset
--> Synaptics SMBus Driver
--> HECI
--> Realtek
First, download --> 7Zip 64 bits
Install it
Afterwards, carefully follow the procedure for the manual installation of the drivers.
Complicated and it doesn't work. When I downloaded the chipset, I right-clicked on it and I don’t have the 7zip option. I'm stuck with the choices offered by windows. No worries, I will do without this reader... Have a good day and thanks again. Whatt02
I right-click on it and I don't have the option for 7zip Have you installed 7Zip properly?
If not, download and install it --> 7Zip
It gives this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards, here are some example images for a manual installation of the chipset:
1- Right-click on the device
2- Update the driver

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3- Browse my computer for drivers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4- Browse
Good evening and thank you for the serious help you provided me. In fact, I had to go to the 7Zip at the bottom of the menu by clicking on other options. What followed, namely the installation of the new drivers, was rather simple even though it didn’t always follow the protocol you had defined. Thanks again to you and to those who thought about this blockage. Now, I hope it will be sustainable. Have a good evening. Whatt02
