There was a recent change to the way USB drives are handled in W10, the default now is 'quick removal'...https://www.howtogeek.com/410353/how...on-windows-10/
So maybe put it back to 'better performance' as an A/B and see if it makes any difference?
And then there's Rufus. I believe it formats the USB stick when it does its magic.
I don't need one, but I think I'll make one just to see.
I use the boot option that's on an M.2 NVME SSD, really fast, I mean fast-fast
I haven't needed to use the USB option in years, as when I need to reimage It's because I was playing around(usually drivers) and broke something, or after I uninstalled something, and decided I do want it(with the last settings and whatever data was there).
I have never killed my bootloader, so far, so the boot option is still my prefered "go to".
