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

plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32

Try going into Start>right click "Computer">Choose "Manage"> Then in the window on left side choose "Disk Manager" and the look for the Flash drive. Then right click and choose Format or create new volume. I choose to creat a new volume and then formatted it as "Fat" (Not quick format but normal format).
