I too have had trouble with an ExFAT drive. In my case, a TV could not read it, nor could Windows, despite the format being "compatible". I formatted it on a Mac.
If my computer (and others) recognize the drive it should be readable by VPX

did you read the entire thread?
Can't see the relevance of that.
Hi.
The only 'drives' I have seen that have exFAT formatting when bought have been memory cards 128GB or over. Apple computers use exFAT rather than NTFS although Windows can also normally cope unless it was formatted on something other than a Windows working machine. I know Linux can also use exFAT formatted drives but don't know if there are any consequences to doing that when then reading off of a Windows machine.
I do know that if I format an SD card on a Windows machine, even to FAT 32, my cameras then can't use them as they can't read or use the the table of contents or directories and because the way SD cards work with a hidden partition that has a section telling the drive how to behave, that is sometimes written over and the card effectively becomes dead (unusable) to some devices. Luckily there used to be a free program called SD Card Formatter that could reformat and replace that hidden partition and make the card usable again.
So the question I guess should be where did the 'drive' originate from and has it been used between two different machines such as a camera or another computer that could have changed some of the drive contents somehow. Was the drive new when you got it?
Either way you have found a working solution. If it is a memory card do not attempt to format to NTFS in the computer. Try to look up on the net if SD Card Formatter still exists. I think the program came from the working group who set up the SD format.
Normal practice for formatting is to format the card or drive in the primary use machine. So I format all my cards in their respective cameras. I do not swap cards between camera. SSDs and SATA drives for my computer I format to NTFS in Windows. I only upload from cards to my computer and then never delete the contents in Windows but put the card back into the camera and reformat the card there.
If the drive is an M2 or NVMe drive then whoever makes the drive also should have a dedicated program for safely formatting the drive. Use that to rectify any possible problems.
[Edit] As to why this has effected VPX 15 and not Windows itself I have no idea. That may be a question for the developers.
