Check Security PermissionsĪlso check and make sure your current user has proper permissions to read/write on the disk drive.
On next start check this time your removable drive working properly without write protection error. Close registry editor and reboot your pc to take effect the changes. Then Double-click on the “ WriteProtect” key located in the right side pane and set the value to 0. Now Click on the new registry key StorageDevicePolicies and on the right pan right-click, select New > DWORD and give it the name WriteProtect. Name the newly created key as StorageDevicePolicies. Note: If you didn’t find the key StorageDevicePolicies, Then right click on control and select new -> key. Then navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM> CurrentControlSet > Control > StorageDevicePolicies Press Windows key + R, type regedit and press ok key to open windows registry editor.
With this tweak we are going to modify the registry editor, its recommended to backup registry database before making any modification. This is the best effective tweak I have found to Remove write protection from pen drive, USB flash drive, SD card etc.
