All of a sudden, my HP laptop cannot write to any of my sd cards. It says
they are write-protected although they are not. I can write to my cards on
cameras but not on my laptop. I have tried the trick with the tape but it
doesn't work as it seems the trouble is on the laptop. I have tons of stuff
on my laptop and it's big trouble to restore it. Is it actually Windows
issue or hardware?

I'd be suspicious of the hardware. The "lock" tab on the card works like
the write protect of a floppy disk. The position of the lock tab is
detected by the card reader. It may be defective.
The only thing I can suggest it try them in another computer to verify.

I had that problem with a miniSD that I put in the laptop/desktop with an
adapter.
The adapter went bad. I used a different adapter and the problem went away.
