Finder crashes when trying to access SD Card

Specs: iMac 2019 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7

After updating to Ventura I have one computer that is unable to access SD cards. The disk mounts to the desktop, but as soon as I open it and try and access files Finder gets hung up and becomes unresponsive. The card has been checked in two other identical iMacs and there is no problem accessing it.

I have run through reseting the port through terminal and have shut down/restarted the machine several times and have had no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried them and it does not seem to work. I have a lab of 14 computers and it seems to be happening to 3 of them. Exactly the same issues with finder crashing and getting hung up when trying to access an SD card. The SD card is good and readable in other computers not experiencing this issue. Ran the repair and did all the steps but didn't help.

Is this something with Ventura, it only happened after I updated right before thanksgiving. Any more suggestions to trouble shoot would help
