Try the following.



Where did you buy the USB? If it came preinstalled with something, perhaps it's WORM protected.

Regarding WORM

Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) ensures data immutability and allows data to be written once and then permanently locked, ensuring its authenticity and integrity. This tamper-proof design prevents unauthorized modifications or deletions, making it ideal for archiving sensitive data.

Another possibility with some SanDisk USB sticks is they have an internal protection mechanism.
If the USB drive experiences a power fluctuation or removing stick while data still be written to it or other potentially damaging error it will shut off write access and there is no way to get it back.
Had this happen before and SanDisk replaced the drive for me for free.

Can you try Rufus? Can you write in complete sentences? You must try and respond properly to suggestions or you will just annoy everyone.
