Hey, guys
Recently (almost 2 weeks ago, maybe) there was an update on my Windows 10. It took about 2 hours to finish and that's it. Updated! Before the upgrade of WIn 10, I used the Arduino IDE 1.8.2 and everything ran very well. I have a small project with SD CARD and everything was great, running 100%.
However, shortly after Windows 10 was upgraded, I realized that something had changed. I can upload files through IDE 1.8.2 and it works fine. Blink ok, RFID ok, I2C Display ok, I2C RTC ok, however SD CARD never reads. It just does not work anymore.
I've tried ReadWrite example and nothing. Upload my own code and nothing. The message always occurs: Initializing SD card ... initialization failed! I remembered that I have IDE Arduino in virtual machine Win 7 (IDE 1.6.11) and if it is done by virtual machine, everything goes well.
Can there be any correlation between the last update of Win10 and the fact that I do not read SD CARD anymore?
I already tried Arduino Nano, Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v 8Mhz and SDCARD is not read if the upload is done by Win 10. If I do in my Win7 virtual machine, everything is ok. I did not post code because even with the ReadWrite example the same happens. It only works now on Win7 virtual machine (after Win10 update).
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
PS. I have already uninstalled IDE 1.8.2 and installed again and nothing.
Thanks
And that's why I've stuck with Win7!

Your choice looks like it was right. I can not imagine why "everything" works, except SD CARD.
There is no relation between a Windows update and code that runs on the Arduino.
Assuming your code still compiles, there should also not be an installation issue of the IDE.
Have you tried to format the card on the PC as FAT? It might have been reformatted for whatever reason.
Agree - there's no way a windows update can impact the output of the compiler other than potentially "break something big and fail entirely" - I can't see any vaguely plausible route to it breaking a specific library only.
SD cards are shockingly fragile (electronically, not just physically) are you sure it's not damaged? I've had several die abruptly on me, sometimes after not much use. Are you doing the level shifting right and all? Making sure to feed it 3.3v only?

Yes, the code is compiled normally and sends to Arduino perfect. The examples are fine, but SD CARD does not boot. Curious is that the same assembly, just coming out of Win10 and going to Win7 virtual machine, new upload and everything works, SD smooth wheel.
I do the formatting via SDFormatter.

Yes, I am sure that of it is not damaged, I perform the same tests both Win10 (updated) and Win7, virtual machine and the same thing always occurs.
In my case I use voltage dividers to lower the signal to suited to Sd. And it is also powered with 3.3V. Yes, I am using 2 cards, one of 2GB and another of 4G and they are running normal.
If it were not my original Win10, I would uninstall everything would start from scratch.
Thank you for your time and notes.
