Hello Sir,

To remove write protection:

1. Open Start Menu >> Run, type regedit and press Enter, this will open the registry editor.
2. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Double click the key WriteProtect in the right pane and set the value to 0 in the Value Data Box and

press OK button Exit Registry,

restart your computer and then again re-connect your USB pen drive on your computer.

That is it, done.

Goodluck
