Windows 11 USB boot issues may be caused by faulty drive or corrupted files. Try using a different USB port and ensure the drive is properly formatted.

The computer won't boot from a Windows 11 USB drive due to a corrupted or incompatible ISO file, or the USB drive is not recognized by the system.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:

  1. Step 1: Check the USB drive: Ensure the USB drive is properly connected to the computer and has enough free space.
  2. Step 2: Create a new ISO file: Use a reliable tool like Rufus or IMGBurn to create a new Windows 11 ISO file from an official Microsoft download link.
  3. Step 3: Update the UEFI firmware: Restart the computer, enter the BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del), and update the UEFI firmware to the latest version. Save changes and exit the BIOS settings.
