    I'm unable to remove "Write Protection" from my USB drive.


    Hi,So the issue is that I am unable to remove the write protection from my USB. The issue arose after I used MediaCreationToolW11 to install the windows 11 boot loader onto the USB stick.When I was about halfway through the installation, a message appeared saying that something had gone wrong, and I couldn't delete the files from the USB stick to reinstall the boot loader because the USB had enabled write protection.I've tried diskpart, EaseUS, Registry Editor, Checked for updates and viruses and nothing is happening. The USB stick is still in write protection.

    :)

    How to Remove Write-Protection from an OEM USB Drive?

    I did all that. After I entered, "ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY", I didnt get a prompt stating that the write protect has been removed. But the command prompt stated that disk attributes cleared successfully.

    But when I tried to format the USB drive I get a pop up window stating that its still write-protected. Do you have any other suggestions?
