- run regedit
- go to this directory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder then make some new one. Follow this steps: - step 1: go to this directory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
again and right click control folder - step 2: select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into StorageDevicePolicies
- step 3: right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value for 64-bit Operating System
- step 4: rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit
- step 5: open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and properly eject your flash drive
- step 6: plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32
Now, you can use your flash drive again....
