Pleased to know about the recovery. Well, exFAT is just another file system like FAT32 and NTFS; refer to the article at the following link to learn more

I actually meant the recovery from the blue screen but anyway, if you could please explain  what exactly you are trying to do on that flash drive, that would help

Some recoveries take a while, especially from drives that are failing. Aborting a recovery lessons the chance that you will get data off of it the next go...

What's a "Recovery Save"?

Exactly my point. I didn't understand either

I translated it to be saving recovered data... why be critical with the OP after another was already told not to be critical with other members?
