5590: can't boot from USB
I received a new 5590 this week and try to boot from an USB.
In the past I never had problems to boot from an USB (already installed +- 30 of the 5590's in the past), but now with this one; I don't even get the boot option. All BIOS settings are set like the previous ones.
Also if I choose 'Add Boot Option', the USB isn't listed. I tried several USB drives, made bootable with different software to exclude a problem of the USB drive.
The USB drives boot properly on older 5590's.
I also updated to the latest BIOS firmware (set up the stock W10 and updated the firmware).
Is this a known issue? Or does someone have other ideas to fix this issue?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I found out why my USB drive doesn't get shown in the boot options. If I boot up the stock Windows, and plug in the USB drive, it doesn't detect it. The USB drive works properly on another 5590. If I try another USB drive (same model and type), it detects the drive.
Someone got experience with this issue?

I know that this is an older post but after scouring the internet for an answer to this same problem.. and finding none: I wanted to post the solution that I found.
As KAEBENELUX noted, I have dealt with numerous other 5590 units without experiencing this problem. I tried every combination of Legacy and UEFI boot configurations and nothing worked.
I then tried to boot using an external USB with an Acronis and it showed the optical drive in the Boot Menu using F12, and it successfully booted. After this I took an old USB 2.0 (vs USB 3.0) flash drive and created a new Windows 10 Boot Media from the Microsoft Website. The laptop identified the USB 2.0 flash drive and successfully loaded Windows 10.
This problem reminds me of the earliest laptops to feature USB 3.0 ports that were software driven vs hardware and required you to install using a USB 2.0 on one of the USB 2.0 ports, or eSata port.
I hope that this helps someone else.
Thanks..

For everyone else who still couldn't get it to work with a USB 2.0 drive, once I plugged my thumb drive into a USB-C adaptor and then into the USB-C port on the laptop it was detected. I was able to update the BIOS this way which was on 1.8.3 up to 1.26.0 and noted a different message when trying to enable legacy explaining legacy options would not boot. I still need to use the USB-C adapter for the USB to be detected. At least I'm able to finish the freaking job now...
