My usb boot option not showing in UEFI section

Question

I have a Dell Laptop Latitude E7450, with the latest version of BIOS. My USB (Verbatim) was working good as a bootable usb. After that, I tried POP_OS! as a dual boot OS, when I have ran windows and format USB, it was corrupted but I fixed it (fat32 format) using MiniTool Partition Wizard. So, I want to re-install a fresh Windows 10, after I deleted Pop_os! but my usb doesn't show up in UEFI boot, even my bios settings are good such as secure boot, uefi option, date and time. Also, I used many softwares of burning ISO files, but It does not work.

Press F12 with the flash drive connected. If the system sees the drive as bootable, it will appear in the boot list. If the flash drive is not shown, the system does not see it as bootable.

If you need a bootable Windows 10 install drive, make it with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool.

Wipe the flash drive completely clean and use the MS media creation tool to prepare the Windows boot media.

If that doesn't work, try a new flash drive.

But before that I was able to make my usb drive bootable with many Linux distros, but recently it's unable to behave as a bootable drive, I tried many Linux distros even with Windows 10 with different burning softwares, but it doesn't work with me. I am afraid that's gonna be an impossible issue to solve.

I did it and used the Legacy options to be enabled, finally it worked

Hello, I did the same thing (Legacy boot) FOr some reason it is still not booting. I get error, "Selected boot device failed. Press any key to reboot the device.

I really need to install a fresh new Dell recovery OS on it. Interesting thing is that I have another exact same model computer which I did this on using the Dell service tag recovery media and it worked with no issues.

Advice?

I had a problem, my uefi ubuntu Linux usb did not display boot options when clicking on f12.  So I went into the Dell BIOS and restored the default settings.  This caused all legacy and uefi options to disappear.  So when I clicked f12 at startup, the usb BIOS uefi option appeared.  Try restoring the default configuration, it may be an attempt to make this USB uefi option appear again.
