Windows 10 does not offer some options previously offered for disk formatting in the GUI. In particular the file systems and cluster sizes are either restricted or unavailable. All the choices are available, however, at the command level.

convert d: /fs:fat32
Obviously, adjust d: if the USB drive is another drive letter
