Hi All,
This came up on a previous thread and I have got a solution that works and its a simple one.
Firstly some of the back story, ProGrade make fast memory cards for cameras, most popular are their SD and CF Express type B cards, they also sell a very good (well built and fast transfer speeds) card reader that does both types. The card reader works via USB-C.
Some users have had trouble getting the card reader and cards to come up in Win10. The reader doesn't show up when plugged into a USB 3.0 type A slot. I had this issue on my desktop and it wasn't/isn't the cards or the reader itself as I could read the cards on my laptop.
Problem was the cable.
I put a USB-C to USB-A cable into my desktop via the A slot, (the cable came with some headphones I think, it was just lying there. And nothing worked, nothing showed up either SD or CF Express..
I swapped to a proper cable that came with a fast external ssd and used its own supplied USB-C to A adapter and bingo... everything came up, put two cards in at once and moved files around no problem.
So I'd say keep the correct USB-C cables with the correct devices and in my case it solved the issue instantly.
I run a Dell XPS 8930 desktop with USB-C front and back, both running Gen 3.2
My laptop is a Dell XPS 7590 with 1 USB-C port running 3.2 that now runs Win11.
