Which mainboard do you have? Did you try another USB Port already? Also, make sure your USB stick is still working. I had a few occasions of sticks dying when used for installing OSs on them

So, digging into the user manual yielded the following sentence:

Quote

Removable storage devices that support GPT format will be prefixed with "UEFI:" string on the boot device list.

This lead me to the assumption that there might be an issue with said GPT partitioning. Do you have another computer to try to boot of the stick? How did you "burn" the Windows ISO to the USB drive (i.e. which program did you use)?

I'm using my dad's laptop right now to try stuff out and I used the one from Microsoft

Good luck If it doesn't work try a program like Etcher to rewrite the ISO file onto the USB stick.
