Windows 10: HELP! SD Card Write Protection Problems

So i have been trying to copy some camera settings onto an SD card. But i keep getting the error:

"The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk"

I have tried basically every single thing i can find online. With the exception being formatting. Because when i tried to format the card it also gave me the error. I don't know what to do im pretty tech savvy but i can not figure this out for the life of me.

SD card write-protection unwanted

Just a suggestion to make sure before you write it off:
I have a SD card where the write protection tab is "loose" so that every time i insert it into a reader it moves to the "protect" position and when i pull it out, the tab moves back to the "write" position.
I ended up taping it in the write position with a small piece of tape.

Edit:
Nevermind. I just realized you're asking about a micro SD.... My bad.

 

Write Protected SD

Hi Fred,

Write-protected SD card disables some functions in the SD card like installing new data, delete data or move data. We suggest checking if there is a small physical switch located on your SD to disable the write-protect. Also, you may try removing the write
protection thru the Properties of the drive. Open File Explorer > Right-click the SD card > Properties > Remove write-protection.

If the if two suggestion we provided didn't resolve the issue, we recommend contacting the manufacturer of the SD card for additional assistance on formatting your SD card.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

 

SD card write-protection unwanted

I have a micro SD card which suddenly says it is write-protected. I made sure the small tab on the side was in the proper position. I also tried the disk part method but it had no effect on the read only status.
I see there's another possible solution by editing the registry, but I'm worried that that would apply to all drives. Any suggestions? I don't want to erase all the files on the drive.
And I tried 2 different adapters, which work on another SD card.
Thanks.
