the booting from usb not show on bios

hi all, sorry for wasting ur time, I want to try Windows Live using Ventoy, but there's a problem with the BIOS menu not showing the USB. Actually, when I check using lsblk, my USB devices, namely /dev/sda and others, are visible. I've tried many things, and of course, I've disabled Secure Boot. Maybe you have any suggestions on what I should do to get the BIOS to read my bootable USB. I'm using a Lenovo LOQ IRX9. Thank you.

What does this have to do with Arch?

Re: the booting from usb not show on bios

make sure you have the usb boot option enabled in uefi

also make sure you installed ventoy correctly on that usb, if memory serves me correctly its something along the lines of this

ventoy2disk -i /dev/sda

I'm not necessarily "fixing the issue" by saying this, but have you tried using Rufus or Balena Etcher instead?

https://rufus.ie/en/ (Windows only but minimal)
https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etcher (Windows, MacOS and Linux but bloated)

I've never had issues with it.
