Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Please try these steps and let me know how it goes
Step 1. Type: Regedit in the search box, click "Regedit.exe" to open the Registry editor.
Step 2. Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Step 3. Double-click on the "WriteProtect" value in the right-hand pane of Regedit.exe.
Step 4. Change the "Value" data from "1" to "0" and click "OK" to save the change.
Step 5. Close Regedit and restart your computer.
Thank you

Follow the below steps and check if it helps.
- Step 1. Connect your flash drive to the computer, and launch a command prompt by searching for cmd.exe or "Command Prompt" in the Start menu.
- Step 2. Type the following and press Enter after each command: diskpart, list disk, select disk #(# means the name of your write-protected disk), attributes disk clear readonly, clean, create partition primary, format fs=ntfs.
- Step 3. Exit the Command Prompt.
