Remove Intenso 64GB USB Write Protection

Geeks - If you have a Intenso 64GB USB drive that is write-protected, you may be unable to add or delete files from the drive. This can be frustrating, especially if you need to access important files or make changes to the drive. Here are some steps you can try to remove the write protection and access your Intenso 64GB USB drive again:

Check the physical switch on the side of the drive. Some USB drives have a physical switch that can be used to enable or disable write protection. Make sure the switch is not set to the "write-protected" position.

Check the file system of the drive. Write protection can sometimes be caused by a corrupted or unsupported file system. Try formatting the drive using a different file system, such as NTFS or exFAT.

Check for viruses or malware. It's possible that a virus or malware infection could cause the write protection on your USB drive. Run a full scan of your computer using an up-to-date antivirus program to check for and remove any malicious software.

Check the registry settings on your computer. Sometimes write protection can be enabled through registry settings on your computer. To check and change these settings, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.

Type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Right-click on the StorageDevicePolicies key and select "Export".

Save the exported key to a location on your computer.

Double-click on the exported key and in the "Value data" field, change the value from "1" to "0" and click "OK".

Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Update the driver for the USB drive. Sometimes an outdated driver can cause write protection issues. To update the driver for your Intenso 64GB USB drive, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Device Manager" from the menu.

In the Device Manager, expand the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section.

Right-click on the entry for your Intenso 64GB USB drive and select "Update Driver".

Follow the prompts to search for and install the latest driver for your USB drive.

If none of these steps help to remove the write protection on your Intenso 64GB USB drive, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a technical support specialist for further assistance.
