You've just set up a new gaming rig and are facing an issue where Windows 11 won't boot from the USB drive. The system immediately returns to BIOS. This could be due to incorrect boot settings or a failing drive. Check the USB connection, try a different drive, and ensure BIOS is configured correctly.

Yes, you mentioned the prompt about pressing any key to enter setup.

It doesn't display properly. Initially it shows the Asus logo (my mb Brand) with the message "please press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS setting". After selecting USB boot it restarts the screen and loops back to BIOS without success. Even attempting a boot before BIOS loads fails. Refer to videos for more details 20240818_002838.mp4 20240818_003108.mp4

I crafted the USB stick using specific methods. Do you have another USB stick available for testing?

I used a 32GB USB drive, converted it to NTFS (it was originally using FAT 32), but Windows wouldn't let me move the Windows ISO to it. I transferred the ISO to the USB and attempted to boot from it. I believe this is the problem, as I've never installed Windows completely from scratch before, nor made a bootable USB this time. This was my first build, so I don't have another USB to try.

You made a mistake in the process. Instead of just transferring the ISO file, you should create a bootable USB drive. You can download Rufus, select the ISO file, run the software to format it, then insert the USB into your computer. Windows will boot from there.

I saw the short clip and figured there might be an issue with the USB stick. They moved the ISO to it, but it didn’t boot. +1 for Rufus.
