I tried everything nothing is working, downloaded other free programs but nothing is working. There is no security tab under properties and no write protection option in Regedit.exe. Please help me😅
All other methods such as using cmd commands didn't work on removing write protection from my bootable pendrive. Finally i did it after watching this video. U got ur self a new subscriber
under (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage) theres no write protection to change the value. the file is still write protected
None of this method is working for my Sandisk cruzer blade 16 GB pendrive. I can access files which are on pendrive, but can't add new file, nor can format pendrive.
My system SD card come again again Write protection error, so I saw and follow your instructions Switch of the SD Card Now cleared my Problems😰 Thanks a lot....
Any more ideas? Ive tried all these and they dont work.. ive formatted the drive to NTFS by accident and now i cant go back to FAT32.. its locked in and i cant format it.. any brute force methods?
Didn't work on the Sandisk thumbdrive. What is a a good program to clean up a thumbrive that is now write protected because I am trying to install ubuntu with it.

Thank you very much. Mine work at step 3 but later on it gives me error please insert a disk into removable drive. I use another video and that resolved too. Thanks I was about to go back and return my flash drive but it's working now perfectly
I have tried all your methods, plus several others from other users and none of them work. It was fine 2 days ago and then yesterday this Write Protection appears? What the hell could've happened? I can't even format it, I can't do anything. Do you have any other ideas I can try? Please let me know! Thanks for your video.
Hey.. I tried all steps but still it's showing write protected. While I run below command chkdsk /f G: being an elevated user, got the below message: The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. Request your further help to get my pen drive formatted. I hope you will revert with your suggestion, thank you!
Don't hold your breath. People like this guy only do the 'easy stuff' - they don't want to know when their 'advice' is worthless - as most of them are. Probably better off throwing the usb out, driving over it, burning it, then throwing it off a cliff. Go back and do some research into decent usb drives that aren't write protected pieces of crap, that aren't made in chyna and that will allow you to see and access the 'security' tab under 'properties' so you that can change thngs.

I am trying to update the install files on a Windows 10 and 11 install USB. It is write protected so I can't. None of these steps worked. Is there a specific way for a Windows usb or can it not be done since it came straight from Microsoft?
Hi there, thank you for your question! Microsoft's official installation USB drives are typically configured to be read-only for security and integrity reasons, and attempting to modify them directly is not recommended. Instead, it is advisable to create a new bootable USB drive with the updated installation files by downloading the latest Windows ISO from the official Microsoft website and using tools like the Media Creation Tool (for Windows 10) or the Windows 11 Installation Assistant (for Windows 11). This ensures that you have an up-to-date and reliable Windows installation medium without the risk of unintended consequences or data corruption associated with trying to remove write protection from the original drive.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware Figures. These were given to me from my job and because of that the install language is not English. It's mostly just an inconvenience since you can just install whatever language you want after the install. Just need Google Translate until then. Hehe I was hoping to fix that by updating the install files. Oh well. Thanks for the reply.
Didnt work. I inserted my usb in my teachers comp to show a project and when i came home the drive was write protectred, how can i remove the protection? I think the teachers comp was the problem, do i have to fix it on my teachers comp, or i have to ask the school network manager to fix it?
welp absolutely nothing worked and the last option there was no option like you had in regedit also the usb drive display itself 2 times first as an DVD drive and a second USB drive which is not accessible i get the message no device connected so im a bit frustrated its a 16 gb verbatin stick from an old work place and i would really like to use it
my USB drive still write protected, it is not shown on the computerk each time Iselect it, they demand format but not formated becauseof the write protection, need help mike

Hi there, thank you for your question! Make sure your account has admin permissions and that you selected the correct pendrive when click on properties. I would recommend opening File Explorer and clicking on the View tab then click on the Options button select change folder and search options in the Folder Options window, go to the View tab, and scroll down to the Advanced settings section. Uncheck the box that says Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended) then click OK and close the Folder Options window.
I have a usb drive kingston exodia for a few months and suddenly I got an error and when I plugged in again, it says that is write protected (I was on Zorin linux btw). I can open the drive, I can see the files and I can see how much storage is left but I can't remove or put files on it.
Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps mentioned in the video its most likely an issue with the drive itself and I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.
It's showing me the same problem again and again. Once I follow the 'regedit' process, it gets write-protected the minute I reinsert the dongle in the USB socket. what to do in such a case?
Hi there, thank you for your question! Try to verify if the issue is specific to the dongle by testing it in different USB ports and with other devices. Check if the dongle has a physical write-protection switch, ensure it's not activated. Temporarily disable antivirus or security software, as they can interfere with USB devices. Revert any recent Windows Registry changes made via 'regedit.' Ensure you have up-to-date drivers for the dongle and set the USB device policy to "Better performance" in the drive's properties. If the problem persists, consider formatting the dongle through Windows Disk Management,
None of these solutions worked for me. What solved my problem was downloading the recovery software from the USB manufacturer's website and using it to restore my flash drive to it's factory default settings.
