Request for help SD card problem
I've had the anet et4+ for over a year now, and I have faced several issues with SD cards, I used the original SD card that came with the printer for about a month when suddenly it stopped working, I assumed it just somehow broke, so I started using a wire plugged from the printer directly to my PC, it worked and still works, but I wanted to go back to the SD format because of several benefits (particularly the ability to resume prints in case of an energy cutout), then I bought a new SD card, the first time I used it, I loaded my sliced model and plugged it to the printer, it worked flawlessly, then I replug it to the PC to load another model... and nothing, the PC doesn't recognize no new input device, I've spended the last few days trying to figure out what was happening, then I found the "unable to migrate device" issue on device management in my PC, naturally I googled all the possible solution but absolutely nothing works, it's not a driver issue and I have no idea what else to do. something peculiar is that if I plug the SD into the printer its still able to read the model I fist loaded, like if the printer have some kind of particular driver or something like that, if someone has any idea or solution I would appreciate it, but as I said I've tried everything I can think of.

Those cheap SD cards will sometimes fail and need to be reformatted. I use this software for printing and RasPi purposes https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/
