This is a work laptop and I need to take backup before I submit.
USB drive is always mounted as read only. However I'm unable to find the source of how this is managed
1) Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies is not write protected
2) Diskpart > attributes disk shows read only is not set
3) Group policy > Admin templates > storage policies has no restrictions
Still when I try to create a new folder on the drive, get the message "Destination Folder Access is denied - You need permission to perform this operation". With no way forward
Any idea if there are others ways to block the removable drive write access
