Hi John
After 3+ years of this issue being manifest and reported by users, the number of users facing the issue, the variety of their hardware, and successive versions of Windows making the issue worse, sorry but I don't consider your one-liner appropriate in those circumstances.
May 08, 2018 How to Format an SD Card. In this Article: On Android On Windows On Mac Community Q&A This wikiHow teaches you how to format an SD card, which is a form of removable storage found in cameras, tablets, and phones. Hi, I have just installed 'Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB' 64-bit to my MacBook Pro Retina. Everything is working, except SD Card Reader. SD Card reader is not listing by Device Manager, but if I check 'View + Show Hidden Devices' it is listing, but it is grayed. This SD card reader is not visible in any way from XP. Attempting to add new hardware does not find the device in any list of installables. Device manager shows a non-working device, but it is an M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 which is a solid state disk which is not on this computer.
I've raised the issue with Apple under bug ID 29809345
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7352538?start=0&tstart=0
here are some things Microsoft might do to help:
* Say WHY you think it is Apple's problem alone ie: technical details and contact history
* Investigate the posts I linked for details, and comment on them
Best business card reader software. * there's been similar problems with SD Card readers on non-Apple hardwares with both Windows 10 and Anniversary edition, say something about this and how it might affect our issue? In particular, can you suggest any workarounds?
* Say HOW you are prepared to help Apple rectify the issue (or what you have already done)?
* Post any technical assistance that may assist those solving the issue?
* Chase Apple on behalf of affected users
* Actively troubleshoot the issue in a lab
May I request further details please?

Title: MacBook Pro Retina Bootcamp USB set address failed
Description:
For over three years now (see date of first post on first link below), a wide range of Macbook users have reported severe problems with the bootcamp SD card driver, we think for a particular Broadcom chipset. The issue got progressively worse with the release of Windows 10, and now with the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (1607 release) the SD Card is inoperable: on boot we receive Set Address Failed (see last link for latest post) and no known workaround exists. Please see the following links for a large variety of users posting detailed reports on this issue:
Please see the following link for progression of the issue with Microsoft:
Please see the following links for a random selection of non-Apple and non-MS forum posts of users suffering from the issue
Steps to reproduce:
Boot into bootcamp on a Macbook pro Retina (other users have found the problem in Macbook Airs also - see posts) which uses the affected broadcom chipset, running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Try to access content stored on an SD Card using the inbuilt SD Card reader.
Expected Results:
Device Manager (and an OS-desktop popup) will show 'USB Set Address failed' as detailed in https://discussions.apple.com/message/31154740 and included in the attached files
On a previous version of Windows you may instead suffer the SD card not resuming from sleep or some lesser issue

Actual Results:
Device manager shows 'USB Set Address Failed' and no known workaround is applicable. On older versions of windows you may experience a lesser issue that still renders your SD card unreadable.
Configuration:
See the below configuration of my mac, see also all included forum links for many other hardware configurations where this occurs and the general conclusion that this affects the Broadcom SD-card driver chipset

Additional notes:
Mac Sd Card Reader Not Working
See all the links mentioned. Note the number of users affected, the diversity of their hardware, the amount of time that has expired since reports came in and the perceived lack of faith from users in a resolution due to Apple and Microsoft (for whom users are both paid customers) not seeking to resolve the issue. Hence I would suggest this is very urgent.
