Hi,

I have a strange problem with one PC with Windows7. I am able to copy stuff from PenDrives but I can't paste anything on it. Error: "You do not have permission to perform this action"

In safe mode there is no such problem. Able to copy on to pendrive just fine.

I am logged in as Administrator.

Quick Heal Antivirus is installed. I have disabled it and then tried copying but that did not work either. Antivirus did not detect any threats. I am downloading malwarebytes at the moment.

Tried adding StorageDevicesPolicies to registry but that did not work either.

Any more ideas?

1.Did you try testing the same device on different computer?
2. Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

You can remove write protection from your usb flash drive using the below method:

a.Open start menu, in the search bar type regedit and press enter. This wil open the registry editor.
b.Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Note:

If the registry key StorageDevicePolicies does not exist, you will need to create it manually.

c. Double click the key WriteProtect in the right window and set the value to 0 in the Value

Data Box and press OK button

d. Restart your computer and try copying files into your USB drives.

Is it one of those "secure" drives? If it is there might be some software you need to be able to copy onto it

It's not secure drive, just ordinary pendrive. It doesn't work with any pendrive/USB Drive though. I have tried several. All of them work on other computers with same OS.
Able to access and view files on the USB, but can't copy anything on to it. (lots of space in memory)

Malwarebytes also did not bring up anything. System is clean.
