Windows 10 explorer shows incorrect USB drive size (DISKPART is OK)
I have a brand new Samsung 128 GB FIT flash drive that came formatted as exFAT. I reformatted it as FAT32 following the instructions on this page using the guiformat app referenced in the article:

Now windows 10 explorer shows the drive as having a total capacity of only 53.6 GB. DISKPART shows the drive as having a single partition of 119 GB with no unallocated space. Partition Master similarly shows a single partition of 119.51 GB with no unallocated space. Windows Disk Management shows a single partition of 119.51 GB with no unallocated space in the lower pane, but only a 53.67 GB Capacity in Disk Management's drive listing in the top pane (see screenshot below). What is going on here? Why don't all of the applications agree on the USB drive size? Why are two different parts of the same application reporting two different size numbers for the same drive?
