2 different laptops (one Linux, one Win10), micro to standard adapter into a standard SD port in both. I found a second adapter just to verify...
It's worth a try then. I've had to switch USB adapters and then re-run the SD formatter program.

Every one of them worked on the first use, BUT some of them did fail after that..!
A few times I thought it was the sd card, but when I tried them in a different adapter they worked.

Those are my experiences too! I have one USB adapter that corrupts the partition tables (even the backup table), and I have to use TestDisk to recover the files before I repartition the card. It worked fine when new but I've quit using it.
