This post describes why the exFAT option is sometimes missing from the File system drop down when formatting a hard disk drive volume in Windows using Disk Management. Cause This issue can occur when the size of the volume you are formatting is less than 32GB, which is the maximum partition size limit using the FAT or FAT32 file system format on Windows. If you format a volume below 4GB, you will see FAT and FAT32 in the file system drop down, but not exFAT, as per the screenshot above. If you format a volume above 4GB but below 32GB, you will see FAT32 in the file system drop down, but not exFAT: Resolution If you format a volume above 32GB, you will see exFAT in the file system drop down: Alternatively, you can use format.exe in a command prompt to format the volume as exFAT.

This post describes an alternative way to get a volume's file system type when it is formatted as exFAT and PowerShell Get-Volume returns the data as Unknown. Here is an exFAT volume in Disk Management: PowerShell Get-Volume returns FileSystemType Unknown  If I run the PowerShell command Get-Volume on Windows Server 2019 or Windows 10, the FileSystemType for the exFAT volume is returned as Unknown: Resolution To resolve the issue, you can get the data using the Win32_Volume class: Get-CimInstance Win32_Volume|SELECT DriveLetter, Label, FileSystem
