SD card failiure?

Okay, I will try to show a little Guide like I wrote. But You should definetly look for @JeffK969 's Suggestion. Sometimes the small Things make big Trouble. But if that is okay and You want to try it, is here my Step-by-Step Guide:

You start in Windows and search for diskpart and make a right-click on it an choose the Option to run it as Administrator (I know it is german, it is only for Orientation):

When the Diskpart-Window is open You type list disk and You should get a List of Devices:


In my Case there are only 2. 0 is my internal m.2 and 1 is a USB Stick that I use for this Demonstration. In your Case could it be look different. It depends how much Devices You have. As you see, there are no Names to identify. So you must look at the Sizes of the Devices. So, I know, I must use Number 1. To choose it, You type sel disk [Number-of-Your-Device] In my Case it is sel disk 1. Then it looks like this:

You get a Notification what Device is chosen. And now it is important that You have chosen the right Device because in the next Step it will be deleted so LOOK TWICE that You choose the correct One. Okay, now You type clean and then you get this:

After that Your Card should be cleaned. Then You type create partition primary and then it should look like this:

After that You type format fs=ntfs quick to format it for first Use:

So, after that you can close diskpart and go into Windows Explorer and make a right-click on your SD-Card and choose the Option to format it and format it to FAT32 and done.

I hope that I explained it good enough and it works for You.
