As the title says, my bootable usb is not showing up in the boot menu for my ThinkPad e14 AMD ryzen 5 7530u , gen 5 I think. I have disabled secure boot in the uefi and disabled fast startup in windows. Am I missing anything ? Note: this is my first time using a uefi bios so I don't know if there are any other kinks to mess with .

Edit : I contacted lenovo support for the above issue but even they couldn't find the answer so I guess won't be using linux for this laptop. But since it's for uni I guess it's fine. I will just use WSL

Edit 2: Reinstalled the bios , the usb boots now . Finally slapped opensuse on it and now running it

And you probably confirmed that live boot worked too I assume.

In the actual bios, can you see a boot order and see uefi for Windows/whatever is on your internal disk? But not any other entries?

    I can see the windows boot manager, the nvme sdd and pxe boot thats it

    Other then legacy and uefi does it have a CSM compatibility support mode? An option to enable usb initialisation before bios? Eg wait for usb initialisation?

    Some "boot faster" options kind of reorder boot initialisation to a point where it's not holding the system back.

    Though I'm really running out of suggestions.. I can imagine you're pretty frustrated. I know my Dell laptop was a pain to get the right settings to get usb to boot and the stupid 100db beep to silent on boot interruption.
