PowerShell Get-Volume exFAT File System Type Unknown

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

Get-CimInstance Win32_Volume
