Hacking Question Nintendo Switch locked my MicroSD

[LucioDragon]

Ok so today i was taking my games from the sd to the internal memory but when i downloaded a couple of games in the memory, i went back to add the microsd and now the switch acts weird, now i plugged the microsd in the pc and it says that its protected anti writting
And i just dont know how to disable that, i cant even format it

Strangely, I had the same thing happen to me. Windows did a simple disk check after saying there could be problems (scan and fix), and after that I was able to modify files.

If windows doesn't prompt to scan and fix, you could probably use CHKDSK.

This happened to me some time ago, it could be that the card has failed and it goes read only so you can at least recover the data.

Run CHKDSK over it.
If you are on Windows, open up CMD as Administrator and run CHKDSK /F <Driveletter of SD Card>

The card went caput. They have limited amount of writes before locking themselves and go to read only mode

I had this problem after backing up from FAT32 and formatting in exfat. It was always error 0x80071ac3. Method 4 on this page seems to have been the fix.

I had this problem, sadly I've done everything and couldn't fix it. I just transferred all my files on my pc and bought a new sd card.

Are you 100% sure your SD card is real? Many eBay sellers, Amazon 3rd party sellers, and sometimes their fake sicks gets mixed in with sold by Amazon.com cards. They take a 2-32GB card and make the card report as being 256GB, or even 2TB cards which don't even exist. I always buy my crads from an actual store now, too many fakes out there. Here's how to test if you ended up with a fake card (it will work fine at first till it reaches it's actual capacity and then starts overwriting itself causing total corruption) https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-an...b-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/

Edit: autocorrect is the devil.

Had the same problem with a 200gb Sandisk microsd bought directly from Sandisk in Amazon.
