Windows was unable to complete format a Micro SD card

Hello, friends! My 16GB Toshiba SD card used on my Xperia XZ cell phone recently just asks to format when it was used on my Windows 7 laptop. However, when I click Yes to format this memory card with my phone data, windows just says windows was unable to complete to format? Honestly, I have used Google to search for the related windows unable to complete the format error problems and also am wondering to select a formatting program? Do you have any recommendation? Is such software helpful for my case? Thanks for any suggestion here!

Have you tried to format it in-device?

I;m not sure if is still the same way with XZ . settings>storage>sd card>settings>format
