Hi there,

here is the procedure to remove write protection:

open registry by pressing start+r

type regedit,

Click on My Computer

Then press File -> Export, give some file name to backup the registry. Just incase you ever need to rollback

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/StorageDevicePolicies

In the right pane select writeprotect

reset the value to infinity

Thanks

This does not exist in my registry editor. I cannot navigate the StorageDevicePolicies .






HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/StorageD­evicePolicies
