Perhaps the disk is defective.

When did you buy the disk? And has its behaviour changed at all since you bought it?
Was any claim made about it being already formatted?
What type of disk is it - internal / external / SSD / HDD / USB stick / SD card?

Please post a screenshot of Disk mgmt that shows the disk.
diskmgmt.msc

And, in addition, please look at the Disk mgmt, View menu, Top then select Disk list and post an additional screenshot of that [again making sure that all the text labels are visible].

To post a screenshot on this forum...​

1. Take the screenshot, edit it as desired, save to your desktop as .png or .jpg (max. size = 2MB)
2. Left click in your post, where you want to place the screenshot.
3. Click the Attach Files button at lower left, browse to your pic and click Insert.
4. After clicking Insert, I usually choose the Thumbnail (smaller) option, or the Full Image (larger) option.

Perhaps it's a fake.
Perhaps it's just defective.
If you bought it from somebody you can contact then ask for a refund. And buy the replacement from somebody else.

Is there a switch on the side which if in the lock position will make it read only?
Is it a well known brand?
What’s the capacity of the card? If high storage was it cheap?
