Error: The Disk Is Write Protected While Accessing SD Card

An error occurred when I tried to modify files on my SD card. It says the Disk Is Write Protected. And I don't think it's an issue with the card since it is editable on another Windows PC. The data on the card is not important. So I have tried formatting it, but Windows 10 does not give me this option.
