When you try to open a USB stick, Windows warns you that the latter is write protected? Cannot have access to the files and much less to erase the contents.

| Drive protected write message |
Cause the most widespread: a clerical error changed data in the partition of the key table, which has the effect of making it write-protected.
In this case, cannot have access to the USB stick, copy a file on it or to delete a file that it contains.
No problem yet, simply go through the Windows registry.
To do this, press at the same time Windows and R. In the field that appears, type regedit and confirm.
Find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies.
Click on it and look in the right column and change the value Writeprotect to 0.

Then click the OK button to confirm. Finally, quit Registry Editor and restart the computer.
There is another solution which allows to format a USB key non-writeable and that works fine under Windows 7.8 and Windows 10. This solution is based on the Windows Diskpart utility.
DiskPart is a small command-line utility that allows the management of the disks. It is integrated with the majority of Windows: XP, Seven, Win 8 and 10.
To use it, please follow these steps:
First run a command prompt by using the Windows key and R, typing cmd and then validating by the Enter key.
- Then type diskpart and confirm.
- Type list disk to get the list of the discs and are looking for the USB number identifying its ability.
- Select the key by typing select disk X, or X is the number that you have found, and validate.
- To remove the read-only attribute, type attributes disk clear readonly and confirm.
- Finally, type exit and press to exit the program.
