Hi,

thanks for the info, the randomness is indeed interesting.
Can you try the failing part manually with the same device?

Open cmd.exe
Execute diskpart.exe, it gives you diskpart's command line prompt
Execute list disk inside diskpart to show the available drives. Take note of the id of the drive in question
Execute select disk N, where N is the id of the removable drive obtained above (make sure you select the right one, otherwise you might wipe out another drive unintentionally)
Execute clean
check the result then exit from diskpart and cmd

Does it give any error or it cleans the drive?

no it does not, works fine, on all 3 usb drives that are all different brands, one is usb 2 and the others usb 3.

rufus worked on these drives witch is what i used instead.

it maybe because i updated to windows 11 22h2

The same issue broken two of my usb drives in attempts to flash centos images while rufus can do the same and so is dd. OS is Windows 11 22H2. Version is latest
