Boot from USB

Hi guys,

I was studiously following this to enable undervolting on my Dell xps 9700.
I know this probably a touchy subject on this forum so please just take as context for the usb boot requirement.

I am stuck at the last hurdle I can't get it to boot into the USB.
It's a usb stick with type c and it's been converted to GUID and formatted etc.

I have obviously turned of secure boot in the BIOS and allowed booting from thunderbolt.

In the BIOS there are fields to add boot options but you cant navigate to the usb drive. It just has these weird 4 options for recovery etc.

I have tried disabling other boot options and setting a boot option for EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi but this just boots into windows.

Any ideas?
