My D drive disk (Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus) is stuck in Read Only mode.
I tried to remove read only via diskpart, and it said it cleared successfully, however as you can see from the screenshots Current Read Only State is still equal to Yes.
Can anyone provide any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing problems. May I ask which Windows 10 build are you running - 20H2, 21H1, 21H2 or 22H2?
Unfortunately it could be a sign that the drive is about to fail. It will mark it as ‘read only’ to ensure the safety of your files. I would recommend backing up the drive using Macrium Reflect (or your preferred disk imaging software other than Windows own) &/or copy the files to another drive.
You can then use diskpart to clean the drive, if this fails then the drive is on its last legs.

You can also check the drive with Hard Disk Sentinel Pro trial:
