Detailed description: 1. Check the physical switch on the USB flash drive.
Some USB flash drives are designed with a write-protection switch, and when the switch is in the write-protected state, the USB flash drive will not be able to write. So, before trying other methods, first check if you have such a switch on your USB flash drive and make sure it is in a non-write protected state.
2. Use disk management tools.
Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of the computer and make sure that the USB flash drive is recognized by the computer.
On Windows, right-click on "This Computer" or "Computer" and select "Manage".
In the pop-up Computer Management window, find and click Disk Management.
In the Disk Management interface, find your USB flash drive (usually shown as "Removable Disk"), right-click on it, and select "Properties".
In the "Properties" window, switch to the "Hardware" tab and locate and select your USB flash drive device.
Click the "Properties" button and select the "Strategy" tab in the pop-up window.
Set the Write Cache Policy to Enable and click OK to save the settings.
3. Modify the registry.
Please note: Modifying the registry may cause system instability or problems, so be sure to use caution and back up the registry before doing so.
In Windows, press Win+R to open the "Run" dialog box, enter "regedit" and press enter to open the registry editor.
In the registry editor, navigate to the key value of the USB flash drive in the following path: hkey local machine system currentcontrolset control storagedevicepolicies.
If you can't find the StorageDevicePolicies key, right-click on the control, select New - > Item, and name it StorageDevicePolicies.
Under StorageDevicePolicies, right-click on the blank space and select "New" - >dword (32-bit) value" and name it "WriteProtect".
Double-click WriteProtect, set its value to 0 (to turn off write protection), and click OK.
After restarting the computer, try to write to the USB flash drive again.
4. Use of third-party software.
If none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can try to use some professional USB flash drive repair tools or data recovery software to remove the write protection of the USB flash drive. These software usually have more powerful features and a higher success rate. But before using it, make sure to buy from the official or reliable *** software and follow the software instructions.
5. Format the USB flash drive.
If none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can consider formatting the USB flash drive. But please note that formatting will erase all the data on the USB flash drive, so be sure to back up your important data before doing this. The formatting steps are as follows:
Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of your computer.
On Windows, right-click on "This Computer" or "Computer" and select "Manage".
In the pop-up Computer Management window, find and click Disk Management.
In the disk management interface, locate your USB flash drive (usually shown as "Removable Disk").
Right-click on the disk partition where the USB flash drive is located and select "Format".
In the format window, select a suitable file system (such as NTFS or FAT32), tick "Quick Format", and click "Start".
The system will start to format the USB flash drive, and your USB flash drive should be de-write protected. Keep in mind, however, that the formatted USB flash drive will no longer contain any data.
