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.

As an advanced-level operation, it is a little complex. If you have little computer knowledge, trying this method is not suggested. Because if you do a wrong operation, it will cause many issues to your computer.

Here are some steps as follows:

Step 1. Connect your write-protected Micro SD card to the PC.

Step 2. Press Windows + R to open the Registry Editor.

Step 3. Type regedit in the run box, and choose Enter.

Step 4. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand System.

Step 5. Click Current Control Set and then click on Control.

Step 6. Check Storage Device Policies and change the DWORD value to 0. Then, click OK.

Step 7. Exit the Registry Editor and reboot your PC.

Wait for the computer to restart. Then, check if your device is accessible. Besides the SD card, this method also can fix USB, SDD, and HDD errors.

The second method is more suitable for users who have little computer knowledge. It is recommended that you can use the third-party software: EaseUS Partition Master. It can provide you with an easy and quick way to fix your issue. You can try this useful method.
