Re: usb not recognize by UEFI

I don't think that works with windows. They have a installer/usb creator of their own i think.

You need to build and install the webkitgtk2 package first, as it's also in the AUR.

Re: usb not recognize by UEFI

You can create UEFI only install USB by simply creating GPT partition table on your USB device, formating in fat32 and then copying all data from Windows 10 iso/DVD to the USB partition you created.

This method should work even with secure boot, but, if you get problems when installing, you can temporary disable secure boot and import keys in Windows installation latter.
