Yes it does, but I don't have the adapter. I just have the Micro SD card and it is write protected. I am currently plugging it into my computer using a USB adapter with a MicroSD slot on it. It is also write protected when trying to access through my phone using an android file explorer. I can't move files/folder or create new folder on the external MicroSD.

I guess I don't see how the MicroSD card can be write protected if I am not using the SD card adapter.

Hopefully that makes sense.

ETA:

I did find through Google that it actually may be the MicroSD card going bad.

I had one do something similar. I think you just have to get what you can off it and buy a new one.

well, there is that

AND

you may want to reboot the computer
I've had it happen at various times the computer misread the chip

and so a reboot snapped it out of it....

FWIW, microcenter has excellent house brand chips/micro sd
