Method #4

Now this is the last method which you can apply to remove write protection. So this time, we will change some read/write permission in Group Policy Object Editor. So check the below steps.

Step 1. So now open "Run" then type gpedit.msc and then hit enter.

Step 2. Now locate this path:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage Access
Step 3. Now we need to Disable all the "Deny read access/write access" which is related to our pen drive. Here below the settings that I have changed.

Removable Disks:  Deny execute access
Removable Disks:  Deny read access
Removable Disks:  Deny write access

Just double click on every option and then select Disabled.

Just Do the Same as above by selecting "User Configuration" instead of selecting "Computer Configuration".

 [ To get Best Result Try both #1 and #4 Method]

 All Done! Friends I hope at least one method worked for you. If write protection error still exists then I can say surely that there is an internal damage which means you need to repair or have to buy a new one!
