I have a micro SD memory, which I'm able to open its file and read the content, but I cannot write or format it. I tried scanning it for viruses with Kaspersky and windows defender, but it seems clean. I also scanned it for corrupted sectors, but it seems to be ok. I've tried everything: CMD, clear attributes read-only command, several software to remove the write protection, and tried to format it on a Linux-based OS, but nothing unlocks it. Any idea for a possible solution? Thanks in advance.
If your SD became write-protected after installing games, then there are three possibilities when you see a message telling you that your SD card is write-protected:
If your physical switch is on the "OFF" side, it may be the cause of your issue. The toggle switch is often located on the side or at the bottom of your device. Check it to see if it's switched to the "OFF" position. If it is, try switching it to the "ON" position to see if that resolves the issue.
