There is one more possibility, and even though it seems remote, it could have some bearing:
I occasionally used the Fujifilm mobile app to access photos. And a few times, the app would not close properly. I wonder if there is an internal SD Card Reader status setting set by the app and not being reset to 'not in use' or whatever when one exits the app using the exit function? I've had to stop the app via the app functions in the Android system because it would not exit and as it happened twice, I decided not to use the app again.

Interesting thought, but I think unlikely the app locks the card. Did you encounter card errors directly after using the app?

No errors after using the app.

Re: Read Error or Card Error? Any PERMANENT fix?

FWIW [and I realize that not having problems does not mean no problems exist] here is my workflow for W7 with currently a USB3 card reader; some of my cards are the same as the OP's. Several cameras, including currently Fuji.

I use a software utility called Downloader Pro which is highly customizable, including the degree to which you want to automate. It works by copying, in my case to two HD's with folders for each date being created on the fly.

The files get a name consisting of a prefix depending on the camera used, folllowed by the original sequence number. For this, it makes no difference whether the file on the card has a sRGB profile/name or an aRGB one, or custom, these are ignored.

After the copying, I have two options.
For important shoots. I'll leave all photos on the card [which is stored for the moment]. I let Windows do a soft eject. At a later date, I'll delete all folders and what is in them through Explorer [basically your classic del *.* command]
For day to day shots, I let Downloader Pro delete after copying and after that do a soft eject. Everything means the DCIM folder and the folder under that (FUJI103 and so on, which contain the images) are deleted. The camera creates those folders anew when you insert the card, that takes no time.

I realize many will think this workflow heterodox to say the least. But it works.

Not read the whole thread but just wanted to add that i use Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB in my xt20 and never had a problem ever. I use the same cards in all cameras and no problems ever either.

I always transfer the files and then format in camera. never had card failures.

“E file name”?  You’ve used that before.  Can you elaborate?

Oh.  Wouldn’t have guessed that.  He uses “e” and “the” in the same sentence so I assumed “e” meant...something else.  E File is how I do my taxes.

As I said, no problems. Not with IMG or _MG not 11- or whatever. I'm quite sure that has no influence
