Windows won’t even let you format them in fat32 anymore!
Which sucks when the device you plan to use it for TECHNICALLY supports exfat, but there’s lots of community posts about how the drivers for exfat regularly corrupt the drive if it tries to read/write too much…
Yeah, I use a lot of legacy gear for work. They type of shit that is running Windows 98 embedded. Fat32 will never die as long as legacy support is a thing. If I plug an exFAT drive into one of those machines, it won’t even recognize the drive.

I regularly format usb drives to fat32 with windows. You just need to use diskpart.

I yearn for stuff as new as win98 embedded…I still have to work with PLCs that use UV-erasable eeprom to store the progam.
