This worked for my usb, the reason why it worked is because the write protection happened on the same computer I used this fix on. Thank You.

In disk detail section you highlight for status read only showing yes but my status showing NO but still i can't copy or delete any files
How to solve it ? 🙂

[robertcioveie]

Yeah, that didn't work at all, still says, ''The disk is write protected" if I try to format it.

[OmarWally]

Thank you very much, I followed all the steps, and the strangest thing that it tells me in "Read-only": No, but in "Current read-only state: Yes. I followed the process until the end and it does not let me format, it is still in mode write protection.

[Flatlined]

My usb is set to:
"Current Read-only state: yes"
"Read-only: No
Cannot be formatted - error message says disk is write protected.
Tried steps with cmd - same info in details, still locked.

[SanjayKumar-vifj]

your trick not working hv followed all steps. finally it shows ' disk attributes clearly successful', but USB shows 'disk is write

[jimdavies]

Update: it worked only once. When I started copying files to the drive, it accepted a few and then appeared the dreaded warning: "write protected."

So I did it again, and saw at the "detail disk" stage the info "read-only no". I completed the process as shown, though there seemed little point in clearing a disk already claiming to be clear; upon trying to use it, the result above repeated.

So one part of my PC says it's not read-only, another part insists that it is. An enemy hath done this.

[objectsgocrazy]

help it says:
"Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only : No"

[asadji]

[miriamgeorge]

Hello, this hasn't fixed the write protection on my USB. Do you have any other fix that I could use?

[sehams]

Many thanks from the deepest part of my heart. I tried a number of ways to disable my USB write protection, but this one is the only way that worked. Thanks again.

[Paul-mzss]

CMD or regedit wouldn't work for me but Silicon Power worked a treat.
It said it had failed also to contact vendor with "code 121"
It then said that it required formatting before use.
Formatted and bingo.
Thanks a million
:-)

[MystaAlex]

For me it says that it is not write only in the command prompt, but when i try to edit it, it says that it is.

[narayanjadhav]

Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only : No

These details show about Pendrive does not format.
