Hi @Ayyoun,
Thank you for posting on HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other experts, and other support personnel. For you to have the best experience on the HP Forums, you can also visit our HP Forums Guide for the First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues booting from USB in UEFI Mode. Don't worry I'll try my best to help you resolve this issue.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
What is the product number of your product? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2039298-1862169-16
Have you recently made any changes on the PC before the issue started?
Are you using the USB recovery media kit shipped from HP or have you created one soon after purchase of the PC?
Secure Boot Configuration helps a computer resist attacks and infection from malware. When your computer was manufactured, UEFI created a list of keys that identify trusted hardware, firmware, and operating system loader code. It also created a list of keys to identify known malware.
When Secure Boot is enabled, the computer blocks potential threats before they can attack or infect the computer. For example, Secure Boot can prevent your computer from starting from illegally copied CDs or DVDs that could harm the computer. Secure Boot does not lock out valid recovery discs or Windows discs.
You may have to disable Secure Boot in order to use hardware (such as older video cards) that Secure Boot does not recognize, or to boot from a CD or DVD that is not recognized. If Secure Boot does not recognize hardware, Windows does not use the hardware when it boots up, and you may experience problems starting the computer. If Secure Boot does not recognize a video card, the computer may have a blank display. For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
For more details, please follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP PCs - Secure Boot (Windows 10)
Once you have installed the Windows 10, you can go back to the Bios and enable secure boot and disable legacy support.
Please respond to this post with the results of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you.
I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes for further assistance.
If you wish to help others looking for the same solution as you've found, mark the post as Accepted Solution.
