Try using Rapid Photo Downloader to copy the files from the card onto your hard

The easiest way is to use Windows' file manager to copy the files to a
designated folder and then import into DT from there.

Is your card being automatically mounted by Windows? darktable won't offer
you to import directly from the card if it is mounted (and unmounting it
before makes it disappear from the system, so probably not a solution
either).

Hi Tom, I reasonable question to ask, but Darktable's strength is its
editing capabilities. Adobe's Lightroom strength is the ability to copy
files from SD cards and import them into a folder structure. Don't expect
Darktable to have the digital management systems of Lightroom. This is not
a priority for developers who have really focused on excellent processing
of images. On Windows you could use the copy and paste function to place
the images from the card into your own folder structure. On my computer I
have Lightroom so I use that to copy the images from my SD cards, phones
and other sources. I also use Lightroom to then organise another two backup
drives of my processed and unprocessed images for safety. But Darktable is
so much better for my editing needs that I do my editing in Darktable not
Lightroom. Maybe one day a new developer may come along who is motivated to
develop digital management system to rival Lightroom, but I am just
grateful for the excellent job the past and current developers have done by
focusing on editing options in Darktable. But I also echo Willy Williams
comments above.

you want dt to be your file-manager, but you already have one.  you are on
windows but the *inux's tend to separate functions and do each function
well rather than one does everything approach.

I have crafted a script to copy from flash-card, rename files and place
them on the hard-drive ready to import into dt.  

I doubt you will find a developer that will see your particular needs as
pressing.  but ...

Re: [darktable-user] Again... SD-Card import on Win10

I just tried importing from an SDXC card in a USB plug-in card reader.  
It works quite well. Suggest that you might want to try it again.  As a 
routine thing, I prefer to NOT do that since I can connect a USB cable 
to my camera and to the computer (both Win 10 and Linux) and import 
directly, eliminating the middleman.

Well,  yes.  But  I  rather like to import from the sd-card, the files
should  be  copied  to a given folder (global preferences -> import ->
'base  directory  naming  pattern')  and  then  put  in the subfolders
'$(YEAR)\$(MONTH)'
