How do I set the "Current Read-only State" to "No"? The regedit "writeProtect" method doesn't work. Re-formatting doesn't work. No physical switch on a microSD.

Card is read by card reader of the same brand.

What happened prior to this situation: Card was working top-notch. Then I didn't use it for a couple of months, so it was just laying around in a suitable environment. Now I plugged it in and it is set to read-only.

P.S.: It is a Transcend card, not SanDisk.

    I specifically pointed out that all these questions didn't help.

    The card itself is protecting the data, it is damaged and will not allow writes to the card, they do this so at least you can salvage data from the card as writes to it may make all the data corrupted or inaccessible.

  • You missed also running attributes volume clear readonly
