The card reader doesn't see much use but I noticed today it was not recognizing the card so I reinstalled the driver and it said the installation was not complete. Device manager tells me 'PCI device no driver found' and I get a fault code ' device couldn't start (code 10)' when I install card. Everything looks good in Device Mgr until I install the card.

Just in case it's relevant, I didn't have the Realtek Card Reader app in add/remove programs (but did have the driver installed for my Realtek card reader). I installed your beta driver and it's now present.
Just some additonal testing, in dave the diver, I played for 20 minutes and had a stutter at about 3 minutes in. Sunhaven I've played for 12 minutes and had a stutter at 1:36mins. No futher sutters yet. So looking at about 2 in 30 minutes which is SIGNIFICANTLY better than what it was previously (1 stutter every 2-3 minutes). This seems to be a playable level, so whatever has been done, though not 100% seems to have really improved the issue.
Thanks for providing the updated driver. I installed it on my Go that has the Realtek card reader and have seen some good improvement! I originally had installed the Atari Recharged games (Asteroids, Black Widow, Centipede, etc.) on my SD card and the games would pause for about 2-3 seconds every 2-4 minutes. Installed new driver and now sometimes get one shorter pause (maybe 1 second) within the first minute or two and then no pauses afterwards. Will try some other games and report back.
Mainly HP laptops with Realtek wireless network adapters, try to connect to the company network (we have 2 one for setup of a software that helps connect to the main network and means that the user should have no issues connecting after a password change as it should auto update the password. Both of these networks fail to connect
Here is the really strange thing, we probably have around 4000 users that use their laptops/phones etc on WiFi but around 1-2% cannot connect their laptops to the WiFi due to this issue, when you try to connect and during the connection process it disables the network adapter and brings it back online and then states it cannot connect to this network.
it is mostly apparent on Windows 10 Update 1803 but also been experiencing it on windows 8.1. However, we have had some laptops with exactly the same specs and hardware and OS versions that connects fine
Disabling and re-enabling the network adapter, in network settings in control panel, uninstalling the network adapter and reinstalling it in device manager, updating drivers, rolling back to previous versions of drivers, checking for any outstanding windows updates using an ethernet connection.
I am having the same issue with hp laptops. Wifi gets disabled, print spooler stops and audio is disabled. I have updated the bios, firmware and drivers but to no effect. 1803 is playing ball with these hp laptops
The WiFi infrastructure is massive as it is spread about the whole campus, however, the number of people affected is low in comparison to the number of users probably around 1% (not including staff which devices are all bought in large quantities at once.
Thanks for this I will try it tomorrow when back in work we are currently trying to get a spreadsheet together with information on MAC addresses and hardware names as well as driver version and as per Toxic_Potato suggestion, we will also start checking firmware versions as well.
If you have a Live Linux Distro on a USB stick then you could try one of the affected laptops with that. If the fault disappears then you know it is a Windows issue only and if it is still there then maybe a hardware issue such as switch antenna connections. Any Linux Distro will do for the test - preferably a lightweight one so that it responds better seeing as it will be working from the USB stick. It is always good to have a Live Linux Distro in your toolbox for situations such as these.
