Question Nothing appearing in "Boot Sequence" on the BIOS; Aorus Z790 Elite Ex

[Derangement2]

It identifies my Samsung SSD as connected (M.2), and also the Windows 11 USB I've been attempting to boot. I have TPM and Secure Boot enabled, attempted to disable Secure Boot to run CSM Support to no avail. Wondering if anyone knows a way to directly add a drive to the Boot Sequence on a Gigabyte F2 BIOS or any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does it boot from the Win 11 USB?

No straight to BIOS.

No straight to BIOS.

Even if you select that to boot from?

How did you create that WIn 11 USB?

That's the issue, can't select anything to boot. Only thing that appears is "Windows Boot Manager". It's from Microsoft, got it from scan. No computer to do it myself.

Ah.
"Windows Boot Manager" IS what you want to select!

Well it's top of the list. A list of one. Nothing happens though just back to BIOS.

OK...tell us how you got to this point.

Did the system ever work?
Is this to be a new install on the drive in question?

Details, please.
Make/model of everything.

"scan"

I would suspect a faulty USB, either physically bad, or badly constructed.

Or, possibly try a different USB port.

Sorry it's a store here in the UK, somewhat reputable... Or at least so I thought. I can identify it from the BIOS "KDI-MSFTWindows 10PMAP"

scan.co.uk? Yes, I've heard of it.

And it is not unusual for that to be faulty. We've seen people here with a USB direct from MS that does not work.

I see; that's disheartening.

Would it not be standard for the SSD to at least appear in the boot priority? My fear is this is the BIOS at fault.

The SSD won't, becasuse there is nothing on it to boot from.

I see, thank you for the advice somewhat reassuring.
