Alcor Micro USB 2.0 Card Reader code 14

I recently bought a Cooler Master Silencio S400 case which has a built-in SD card reader. The driver installed via Windows Update didn't work, and showed a code 14. After reboot the problem still persisted.

My old Lenovo X250 happens to have the same card reader chipset, so I tried it's driver from https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds102036.

Run it and choose "extract only". Now go to the "Alcor Micro USB 2.0 Card Reader" with the ! on it in Device Manager, pick "Update Driver", then browse to C:\drivers\WIN\smartcard. Windows will find the driver there, and it works.
