The problem happens with a Thinkpad R500 running 32-bit Windows 10.

The R500 has a built-in card reader, however, that reader no longer works properly.
Several times I've installed drivers for the card reader. Each time, the reader briefly works, then fails to operate the next time the R500 is used.
Checking the knowledge base and Levovo online support turns up no cause, explanation, or solution.
The card reader has been activated in the R500's BIOS.
SFC/scannow shows no problems.

Event viewer shows this:
Device SD\DISK&Generic&SD02G&8.0\6&1777445a&0&50324e24&0 could not be migrated.

I guess this could be happening due to the fact that you're running Windows 32-bit, which is becoming less common in this day and age and developers tend to prioritize drivers for 64-bit. Or it could pretty much be a hardware problem as well. Card reader slots could get damaged overtime due to accumulation of dust. This is less common with USB ports as those are more commonly used.

Have you tried to read multiple SD cards? You have to sort out all the possibilities, if Device Manager shows no problem with the device but Event Viewer reports a problem, it could either be the card you're trying to read is possibly defective or there is a problem with the card reader slot (it could be in short, for example). Also, in spite of being an old machine, it's strongly recommended that you use Windows 64-bit.

I've tried multiple SD cards and the same problem happens over and over again. The more information I post, the more confusion it causes.
