Can't change boot device.

Go to solution Solved by knightslugger,

if you are using a USB 3.0 port to install W10, don't. use a 2.0 port if available.

As of now, I'm about to reinstall Windows 10 onto my device.  Every time I try to install windows via USB it gets stuck on a screen (picture on post).  What can I do to fix this?  I'm doing his because I get stuck on the windows loading screen and nothing is fixing it.

I have used USB 3.0 many many times to install windows and other operating systems on many computers without problems.

I have only experienced the "fix" of using USB 2.0 instead on motherboards that have had problems with USB 3.0 controllers... you usually know which ones those are as they frequently connect/disconnect the devices while in use (Shout out to my old crappy AMD board)... and no matter how mnay times you install the correct drivers/re-install etc, nothing works. I hated that board!!

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
