I have Bitlocker installed and want to copy a file to a usb stick. Bitlocker denies that and consider the usb drive as write protected. I do not want to encrypt the stick. Is there any way to bypass this problem so I can copy a file?

This should help:

  • Run the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
  • Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\BitLocker Drive Encryption\Removable Data Drives
  • Ensure that "Deny write access to removable drives not protected by BitLocker" is set to "Not Configured" or "Disabled".

For more information (and registry update method) see the article
Allow or Deny Write Access to Removable Drives not Protected by BitLocker in Windows.
