ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Andrius Štikonas 2021-03-20 18:01:02 UTC
Which partition table did you use GPT or MBR? Might it be that windows only recognizes MBR devices?

That said, I don't have Windows, so I wouldn't be able to test it.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-21 00:29:30 UTC
Yeah, how did you format it?
Comment 3 Stijn 2021-03-21 08:33:27 UTC
Hi,

delete (not shift-del)
partition table : msdos
filesystem : fat32

ps
the window search for devices appears before authentification
Comment 4 Andrius Štikonas 2021-03-21 10:20:22 UTC
It might also be useful to have output of

sudo sfdisk /dev/sdb -l

(assuming that sdb is your usb device node that your are formatting)
