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

You should try enabling the options in:

  • Startup>Boot>Boot device List F12 Option (most important)
  • Config>USB (may be only for charging, but may also help)
  • Security>I/O Port Access>USB Port (may be only for keyboard/mouse, but not clear)

and disable:

  • Startup>Boot>Boot Order Lock (imporrant)

then Restart>Exit Saving Changes and press F12 furiously during next boot (as i don't know when exactly) and select USB.

    No idea. The USB should be in there. Can you look onto the USB from Windows? (but don't change anything on it) Maybe the port doesn't work properly.
