USB stick is write protected. Unable to format

[DVDR_Dog]

I have thrown very freakin' program I can think of to try and either change attributes, delete partition, ad nauseum.
The drive in question is a Kingston Data Traveler 100 G3 32gb.
I have completed a surface test, "no errors found" so that rules that out.
I used this drive to install "Adobe Photoshop 2025 v26.11.0 (x64)\HaxNode" so I guess it's possible that may have fouled up the drive.
There is no physical write protection switch on the drive.

What's going on? It's driving me whacky!

This looks like it should solve this issue. Let me know if it works
