I have just bought a 32GB Micro SD card with the adapter from SanDisk, but it's write-protected. There is no physical switch on the Micro SD card. What should I do to fix this issue? Can anyone help me? Thanks.

From your question, I can know that your SanDisk 32GB Micro SD card has been in a state of write protection. Based on my experience, it is suggested that you should remove the write protection from the Micro SD card. And you said that there is no physical switch on this device. Therefore, there are some other methods that may be helpful for your question.

The first method is to remove write protection by using the registry editor.
