Sluggish SD slot and fix for Miix 2 8

Uninstall KB2913236 update.

There is one more issue: after insert a micro SD card, it is not recognized. The fix: disable the Intel SD host controller (the 3rd one under SD host adapters), then re-enable it. To do this with a simple click:

1) Find devcon.exe. This little utility by Microsoft can disable and enable a device.

2) In the same folder of devcon.exe, create a sdslot.bat file and copy and paste these two lines:

devcon.exe disable "ACPI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F14"
devcon.exe enable "ACPI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F14"

3) Optionally make a shortcut of sdslot.bat on your desktop for convenience.

From now on after you insert a SD card into the slot, right click on the shortcut, run as administrator, the card will be recognized immediately.
