I have the same issue
same issue still exists.
EDIT: using Windows 10 23H2
Still Here Windows 11 23H2 Build: 22631.3296 Edit: Restart Required to finish installation, then works fine
Are you sure it isn't a problem with that ext3 partition, I created an ext2 and ext3 partition on my computer and they show up and after writing to them with the Windows driver Linux still sonsiders them ext2 and ext3.

i am certain there wasnt an issue with the partition in my case - i created an ext4-partition and it got shown as ext3 by the windows-driver
it occasionally shows as ext3 in the manager but windows always recognizes it as ext4 for me
what state was the partition in when you made it ext4, did it have files in it or did you format it to ext4

freshly created root-partition created via Arch-Iso, had the base system in it
How would I recreate to test

cfdisk /dev/nodenameofdisk
- example cfidsk /dev/nvme0n1
or /dev/sda
- the UI of cfdisk is pretty selfexplanatory: use up- and down-arrowkeys to navigate to empty space, use left- and right-arrowkeys to select "new" in bottomselector and hit enter to create new partition - Type should be Linux-Filesystem, then select write, confirm by typing yes and hitting enter, then select quit and confirm that to get back to the terminal)mkfs.ext4 /dev/nodeofpartition
(example: mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p7
or /dev/sda3
) and confirm creation when promptedmount /dev/nodeofpartition /mnt
cd /mnt && touch file.txt && echo "This File is fine!">> file.txt
(cat /mnt/file.txt
should now show your verificationphrase)umount /dev/nodeofpartition
reboot
and hit enter)*For booting into the Arch-Iso, i recommend using Ventoy: flash ventoy to a spare usb and then just drag and drop iso-files onto the stick as needed - way more convenient than reflashing the USB each time
I am having the same issue. My partition was created on SteamOS.

I had the same issue. Steamdeck created ext4 partition is not working on my Windows. Showing as ext3.
I am trying to investigate this problem. If someone has a partition that is not to big it would be of help to get an image file of it to investigate?
But to begin with if you can show what the command: tune2fs -l /dev/partition tells about the partition on Linux? That could give a hint on the problem.

I don't know how to dump the partition., This is what I can get from using the tune2fs command.
tune2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
Filesystem volume name:
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent 64bit flex_bg metadata_csum_seed casefold sparse_super large_file huge_file dir_nlink extra_isize metadata_csum
This was realy helpful, I think it is the "casefold" feature that is the problem, our driver refuses to mount new features it doesn't know about yet. (casefold is case insensitive file search to be compatible with Windows behaviour)
It would be interesting to hear how you formated the filesystem, normally you must explicitly enable casefold when giving the mkfs command, parhaps some distrobution has enable it as defult?
You should be able to turn it off with this command tune2fs -O ^casefold /dev/xxx
or create a new partition witout it: mkfs.ext4 -O ^casefold /dev/xxx
We are trying to understand when the feature "casefold" is enabled and one more thing you could tell us is if it is present in /etc/mke2fs.conf.
Thanks!
I used the command to disable casefold, it is still showing as ext3 in windows under the Ext2 Volume Manager. I then recreated the partition using the next command, the drive is no longer recognized by windows .
I think it is likely an issue with using Steam Deck to format the SD card.
This is what I see under the config file.

I have now updated the manager to give better information on the filesystems on disk, it can list XFS/BTRFS and LVM and MD partitions but the most important new feature is that it shows a '+' sign after the filesystem name like "EXT4+" if the on disk filesystem contains new ext4 features that is not supported by the windows driver. You can try it from here, it works with an already installed driver: https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/next/Ext2Mgr.exe
Hello. I have an EXT4 partition on my disk, and when I use this driver, it shows up as EXT3. When I hit the "Mount" button, it shows up as a drive in file explorer, however it says that the device does not contain a recognized filesystem. I did disable driver signature enforcement, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
