USB jump drive won't work in windows 10 professional; says disk is write protected; jump drive was formatted exFAT prior

Hello Martha,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Did you check if similar issue persists on connecting other jump drives on the computer?
• Did you make any other changes apart from formatting the jump drive to
  exFat format prior to the issue?

You might be facing the above issue due to the Read only option selected on the jump drive connected to the PC.

I suggest you to check if similar issue persists on connecting other USB drives on the PC. If the issue does not persist, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Connect the jump drive to the computer and open File explorer by pressing
  Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard.
• Click on This PC from the left side panel of the window and right click on the jump drive shown under
  Disks & Drives.
• Select Properties from the context menu and uncheck
  Read only if marked.
• Click on Yes when the option saying Apply changes to subfolders and files writing to this folder pops.
• Click on Apply and OK on the same window.
• Close the window, check if the changes are effective by unplugging and re-plugging the jump drive on the computer.

If the issue persists, is suggest you to contact the jump drive manufacturer’s support for further assistance.

Write to us with answers to the above questions and the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

Thank you.
