Please follow this instruction to skip this problem:-

First of all go to the registry and change the value named "WriteProtect". The path is :-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > StorageDevicePolicies > select "WriteProtect" from right panel.

Double click the write protect value and change the value data to (0). After change the value data then restart the computer.
