I know they're there because they appear in my phone's file manager in both the native Google one and a third-party one. How come I can't see them? This is a known issue. Go to app manager and find 'external storage' and 'media storage' and clear data and cache for them, then reboot, and wait up to 10 minutes and then connect to PC via USB.

There are trusted third-party tools like Malwarebytes that can help to remove malware from your PC and Android smartphone. If the tool doesn't detect any malware that's preventing microSD cards from being detected on your PC, download Malwarebytes on your Android device and perform a scan.
