I should also mention that right after the Win10 update two Realtek Memory Card Reader entries were in Device Manager with yellow exclamation icons. I narrowed it down to the Realtek Memory Card reader. Everything seems fine except of the high CPU usage in System and Compressed memory. I have an HP DV4 Laptop(i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) that came with Windows 7, I recently updated to Win10. View 9 Replies Realtek PCIE Memory Card Reader Causes 80% / CPU In System And Compressed Memory Apr 4, 2016 The card reader was fine in Windows 8 so I think it's a software issue. I've tried the Dell Windows 10 driver, the latest driver on Realtek's site and the driver installed by Windows update but all fail in the same way. Device Manger shows no problems with the card reader. The card reader reappears if I restart the PC. However, the reader will randomly show no content in file explorer and the drive disappears altogether if I remove and reinsert the card.
When the PC starts, the card reader appears as a drive and I can read/write to the card. I've just updated my Dell Inspiron 7537 laptop to Windows 10.Īll is working fine apart from the built in Realtek card reader. View 2 Repliesĭrivers/Hardware :: Realtek Card Reader Keeps Disappearing?

What is realtek usb 2.0 card reader used for how to#
When I was viewing my windows 10 updates I saw some unusual update history of my Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader, (see attachments)I very rarely use this on my Dell Inspiron ONE but thought I would just check it out, and it did of course not work, I tried to find the driver in Device Manager but could not find it? How to know about installing the driver again if it is missing, I tried an external usb card reader and this is seen in File Explorer unlike built in one with sd card inserted.
