Struggling to format memory card as exFAT

[King Mustard]

I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F (2015) tablet that runs Android 6.0.

I have a new 32 GB microSD card.

When I inserted the card into the tablet, Android asked me to format it, which I accepted.

When I connect the tablet to my Windows 10 PC and try to transfer 5 GB video files onto the memory card, it fails (no error message, just an error sound).

I presume it's because Android formatted the memory card as FAT32?

So I connected the memory card to my PC manually and formatted it to exFAT using Windows' built-in format tool but when I reinsert it back into the tablet, Android says it's corrupted and needs formatting.

Any ideas?

I would try the SDFormatter program: https://members.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

It is the "technically" the official way to properly format SD cards, based on the type of SD card. Meaning that it will choose the proper format for the size of the card.

It sounds like your tablet only supports the FAT32 file system for SD cards.
Unfortunately, that file system limits you to files less than 4 gig in size.
