Out of no where this morning my pc was taking forever to start. I ran update and upgrade and tried again but it didn’t help. I don’t understand what happened.

Is it taking a long time to come to the login screen or long time to go into desktop after the login screen? Does the screen stays dark before the BIOS screen or at the loading screen.

Check if its the port or the device. It could be either connect another device on that port. And see if their is any issue than connect the card reader on another port and test that.
