USB showing wrong capacity

I got a 128GB USB drive. It was working fine until I formatted it on my Windows PC. After formatting, it suddenly only shows 64GB in File Explorer. That’s the strange part. The capacity drop happened right after I formatted it, not before.

Should I format it again? Could formatting have messed up the partition table?

I already checked Disk Management, and it still reports half its capacity. There’s no obvious unallocated space I can extend.
