When I try to format a Samsung pen drive, all is fine but a UEFI is left displays write protected, probably I installed Rufus or MR recuse media?

Is it possible to format it completely?

Thanks.

Thank you again.

By the way, formatting with RUFUS should remove the write protection also

Yes it did remove the write protection. I hear from my patients it's real party days.
Thanks again.
Best regards and have a great evening

You’re a Doctor… Whilst I have you here. I think I am allergic to my wife. Whenever I am near her, I get this red rash looking blemish on my face. I wonder if you could tell me what it is?

“Mate, this prognosis might do your head in a bit, but you gotta hear it straight up. I reakon without a shadow of doubt that it’s a ‘guilt flush’ on your mug from getting a bit on the side. You betta look into that & sort it out pronto before your missus sorts it out for ya.”
