Windows wont let me format my usb to fat32

Yesterday i bought the sandisk extreme pro in 128gb. I wanted to format the stick to fat32. I need it that way no matter what. Somehow windows blocks that option for sticks bigger then 32gb. I need 128 or at least 64. is there any way to do it. I tried third partie services but they cost money, i also tried with windows+cmd but also that doesnt work.

Maybe asking a friend who got a mac device and i could format it there and then use it on my windows to put the things on i need. Would that be an option? Or do you guys have any other recomendation

RGX on youtube videos crashes OperaGX if videos are displaying HDR.

Suddendly my OperaGX started to go unresponsive when playing youtube videos in HDR. This wasnt happening before.

Figured it was because of RGX enhancement feature. The button for turning RGX on and off dissapeared so I stopped minding it. It turns out the feature was on by default in spite of the button being gone.

Went to settings and made the button appear again then went to a normal 1080p video without HDR so OperaGX stopped crashing, turned RGX off, went back to a 4k HDR video and bam, OperaGX is not crashing anymore.

Preview lag on the second monitor and USB-A 3.1 10Gbps adapter.

I have two specific questions. I have an Elgato 4k X. My motherboard has a USB-A 3.1 output. Will a cheap Ugreen adapter work well?

Second question: if I use a generic cable, the preview stays at 1080p60 on the primary monitor (LG 4K60), but if I move the 4K Utility window to the second monitor (Asus 1080p60), the preview becomes very choppy. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Usb flash drive is corrupted and not formatting after trying to install windows 11 using rufus

Hi, so I tried to install windows 11 using rufus. I was watching a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCBVSTNNAgo) and following along, but half way through installing it failed. Now my usb flash drive cannot be accessed. I can't format it as it says it is write protected. I have tried various different methods to fix the usb flash drive but i am told that the disk can't be cleaned because it is raw, or i run into a i/o device error message. Basically i am not worried about recovering data from the usb, i just want to be able to format it and use it again to use rufus. Please if any of you brilliant minds can help me out I would be over the moon.
