    make a linux drive recognized by windows 10 or no nag to format?


    I have an AB switch with usb hub, but when I switch from android box to windows, it is a constant nag to format the drive, which I dont want anyone to do.

    Preferable like to install something so windows can read and write to it also.

    I found it, called ext2Fsd project. Directly works in windows file manager.

    Ext2Fsd Project

    It works very well for linux partitions
