SD Card fails to format using official SD Card format tool on Windows (programming.dev)

I don't get a very detailed error message but it fails and tells me to try reinserting it. I've tried a few times. It fails at different percentages sometimes. Any thoughts or ways to get a more detailed error message? I have Mac and Linux too.

This is a microsd card inside an SD adapter, that is then inserted into an SD reader in your windows machine right? Some of those SD adapters have a little lock tab that makes the card read-only. Make sure that's in the correct position.
