Windows 10: SCANDISK ULTRA usb 3.0 -Disk Write protected issue

Unable to format my pen drive : . Getting an error - The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.


Tried below steps but issue still persist,


1. No option to un-lock in my physical pen drive

2. Tried Write Protection from Device using CMD , i.e.,

diskpart

list disk

select disk #

attributes disk clear readonly

3. formatted using thirdparty tool - EaseUS Tools

4.Changed the write protected option from registry - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

5. No read only option, General tab, uncheck "Read Only", click "Apply" and "OK"

6. Tried another third party software - EaseUS Partition Master

7. used Rufus tool

8. updated the drivers from Device manager

9. Checked in safe mode.


Any help please?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
