The most likely culprit is your card reader, either hardware or an OS issue. It’s unlikely in the extreme that all your cards are faulty, especially SanDisk. Try using a USB-C cable of the appropriate type to transfer your images direct from the camera, that would eliminate the reader from your fault-finding process.

I think that was done which also showed problems with some files.

Could this be real card problems?

I use a SanDisk reader with an Integral 128GB CF-express type B card and have had no issues (Windows PC).

Recently I recovered images from a friend’s CFExpress card which had been formatted, but was not faulty. I used my SanDisk reader and the free SanDisk recovery software (RescuePro which you should have received with your cards), which worked well.
