Press "Win + R", type cmd to open "Command Prompt".
Type diskpart and hit Enter.
Type list disk and hit Enter.
Type select disk with write protect and hit Enter. (Replace 0 with the write-protected device number) and hit Enter.
Type attributes disk clear readonly and hit Enter.
Type exit to close the diskpart window once the write protection removing process completes.
