When you click the "Format" button, it always perform a Quick Format. There is still a chance to get your photos back. But the first thing to do is to stop using your SD card. Otherwise, your deleted photos will be overwritten.
Windows built-in tools can't help you recover deleted photos from SD card. But Microsoft has an official data recovery tool named Windows File Recovery. It can help you recover photos from SD card.
