What and why has an update stopped my Tab 4 from reading my sd card?

[AC Question]

Since an update or something alot of samsung devices had stoped reading sd cards
This has happened twice in my family and is very common throughout the Internet so far

Welcome to Android Central! Was it a system update that upgraded the Android version? Or was it a Samsung update?

If you unmount these cards (in Settings>Storage), remove them, and insert them into your computer, can the computer read them?

Does the device even register the card as being inserted in Settings>Storage​?

Ok, so if you go to Settings>Storage, it doesn't list anything under External Storage? Is there a Mount button? If you don't see one, and the card is still in, then either the card failed, or there's something wrong with the SD reader in the device.

Might be that
Ive been looking online where I found a bug that has the same smytoms as my tablet and it said to backdate the tablet
Im going to try that and if not il take it to a repair show so they can look at it
Thanks anyway
Il keep you posted on what works so u can point other people in the right direction
