Hello @Domenico61 

What is stored on the USB flash drive ? Which operating system / setup do you want to boot ?

< BIOS > You can temporarily

- disable <TPM> in security

- disable <secure boot> in boot options

- enable <legacy boot> in boot options

Try again to boot from USB flash drive ...

< Note >

If you have already installed windows operating system on your drive, you need to change back BIOS settings to their original state in order to boot later ...

Please report your results

Hello @Domenico61 

Create two USB flash drives (type 2.0 and 3.0)

Try again ...

The problem was the usb working only on the old BIOSes.

Now everything is OK.

Thanks for your suggestions.
