USB key impossible to repair or format.

Hello,

I'm facing quite an incredible problem, and I was wondering if anyone had an idea to solve it.
I did download a support program from the manufacturer of my USB key, namely PNY, but I can't use it for the following reason:

when I insert my USB key, I get a message asking to format the key, and this message keeps looping without me being able to format or access the key.

When I go to Manage by right-clicking on Computer, I see the following in Disk Management: Unallocated disk, then the info disappears, then back to unallocated disk, and so on...

The problem seems to have arisen after I started copying the key to a drive on my PC, then canceled the copy. Then, I relaunched it.

Thank you in advance for your support.

    Otherwise, search for the command prompt (cmd) run > cmd.exe, in the page that opens, type: format:(the drive letter of your USB key > E or G or F etc) and there you go, if that doesn't work, run the cmd as an administrator, you can also watch some videos ;)

      Thank you for these solutions, but my problem is precisely that the key is not stable regardless of the PC or USB port I use. A letter never gets the chance to be assigned.
