    Hello

    Has anyone had a similar problem when it comes to a pendrive with Windows 10?

    Formatting Original WIN 10 Flash Drive with Write-Protection: Methods & Alternatives


    The point is that the memory is write-protected and there is no "way" to format it - so that it works like a normal storage medium.

    So far I have tried most of the ways to format the memory that do not lend themselves to normal operation.
    I finished PPM, Easeus, diskpart, regedit to hdd low level format tool.

    The "gypsy" will tell you the truth . :wink:


    Only now, because "then" the pendrive stopped "living" after using the above-mentioned program - it is not seen in any device or in any other device.

    I lost responsibility for the accident and the damaged pendrive - but today I treated exactly the same pendrive with the above-mentioned program and the effect is identical - it ended its life.

    Adds to the test, available recently on the Chinese website MPALL -> best if someone presented screen ( only "UPDATE" you choose! ) from detecting the memory from an efficient, identical medium, because then I will try to create the appropriate file .ini .

    These flash drives are also not visible in this program. Even the bios does not see them at all, the computer does not react in any way to their connection.

    Let me say that it is rather impossible after using this software (Phison Restore v3.18.0.0.zip) from my attachment.
    I am waiting for further confirmed cases from other people. :idea:

    These things happen most often when the flash drive is suddenly pulled out of the USB port during a firmware update.

    It is different with this "identity". :|
    I add (for the insightful) the newest Phison GetInfo .

    Let's try, but the attached file crashes with an error, in the cmd window you can see '[Err002]' and question marks, because it's probably some Chinese stamps.


    Basically a dozen or so pieces were treated with version 3.23 of Phison Format & Restore, however, a few 'did not manage'.
    However, the recording on these media treated with the above-mentioned soft is ... the Vistula will dry faster; (
