Windows 10: How can I open a Linux-formatted USB drive on Windows 10?

Can I do it with Windows Subsystem for Linux? Or maybe is there a program that does it? AFAIK ext2fsd can corrupt data so I wouldn't want to use it

Unable to format USB drive in Windows 10

IF windows are not able to format USB drive then apply these manual steps as follows:
First open run command box > Now, write diskpart and hit enter > Once
Diskpart is open > Now writing the commands, one by one.
Command 1: List disk
[Now, it will list Disk 0 and Disk 1 in your PC. Clearly Disk 0 is your hard disk and Disk 1 is the USB flash drive.]
Now, write the commands given below One by One.
Command 2: Select disk
Command 3: clean
Command 4: create partition primary
Command 5: active
Command 6: select partition 1
Command 7: format fs=fat32
[In the above command fat32 is chosen as a file system, if you want to choose NTFS, you can choose that as well.]
It will take time. Do not close the window before it's completed.
This manual steps may help you to format the drive. Thanks

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
