It may be an authority issue. You may enable write protection with the administrator account and remove it with another account.

Hey, rogerg. Many people on this forum have asked about solutions for removing USB write protection. This detailed guide might be helpful for you. If everything fails (including trying third-party tools), your pen drive might be CORRUPTED.

Your flash storage devices, such as USBs and SD cards, can become write protected at the hardware / controller level when they die. This issue is usually triggered by degraded NAND flash. Trust me, it’s often best to replace it with a new one or take it for repair.
