Windows won't let me pick bootable usb for Windows 11/10

I made a couple of Windows 11 and Windows 10 bootable USB in the past and some of them were not recognized as bootable device. Here are a couple of solutions to fix it if Windows 11/10 won't let you pick up bootable USB:

1. Verify the Bootable USB Drive:  Verify if the USB boots on a different machine to rule out hardware issues. Sometimes, certain USB ports (like USB 3.0) might have compatibility issues. Try using a USB 2.0 port if available. Or use a different USB drive. Sometimes, the USB itself might be faulty.

2. Use Another Bootable USB Creation Software: This is the biggest reason why Windows 11/10 won't let you pick you up the bootable USB because the software is out of date or faulty.

3. Set the Computer Booting from USB: As it boots up, press the key specific to your motherboard manufacturer (commonly F2, F12, DEL, or ESC). Look for the "Boot" tab or section. Move the USB drive to the top of the boot priority list.

4. Disable Secure Boot: Locate Secure Boot: Usually under the "Security" or "Boot" tab. This can prevent the system from blocking the USB boot, especially if the USB isn't signed.

4. Enable Legacy Boot: Some systems require enabling Legacy or CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to boot from certain USBs. Switching between UEFI and Legacy can affect your existing Windows installation. Proceed only if you're familiar with these settings.

5. Disable Fast Startup in Windows 11/10: Fast Startup can sometimes prevent the system from recognizing bootable USB drives. To disable it, search for "Control Panel" in the Start menu. Click on "Hardware and Sound" > "Power Options." On the left sidebar, select "Choose what the power buttons do." Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable." Uncheck the "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" option. Click "Save changes."

6. Update BIOS/UEFI Firmware:  An outdated BIOS/UEFI can sometimes cause compatibility issues with bootable USBs. This can usually be found in the BIOS or by using system information tools. Go to the official website of your motherboard or computer manufacturer. Follow the provided instructions carefully to update the BIOS/UEFI.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure Windows 11/10 to recognize and boot from a USB drive. Ensure you back up important data before making significant changes to system settings or firmware.
