i tried formatting my bootable 128 gb flash drive on file manager and i did it but after to format it second time but this time via settings >manage disks and units i get error when i do this steps i delete the unit and create again file system exfat and allocation unit size (4kb by default) i create it without problem but in next step if i want to format it on the same interface shows a error massage formatting - failed error code 0x8
also allocation unit sizes vary between file manager format and settings manage disks and units, i dont know if its somehow matter
(bytheway i use a different languge all above my expressions hope they all correct.)

2023-08-22T07:58:43+00:00 i dont think its a deliberate error because sometimes i dont get that error and i can format it exfat even through settings menu,
for example if i format it through file explorer first then im able to format it through settings too without error. to exfat of ntfs.

based on the information that you have provided. You are using the incorrect format of USB. Instead of using "exfat" please us FAT32 instead.
