    What to Do When HP Laptop doesn’t Boot from USB Device

    These tips will help you if your laptop won’t start after trying the steps above. This process can become stuck in many places.

    • Recheck the boot order in BIOS:  BIOS doesn’t check the USB port before a bootable flash drive or any other USB device is the number one reason why a bootable flash disk won’t work.
    • Remove all other USB devices:  If you have multiple USB storage devices connected at once, your laptop may be trying to boot to the wrong one. In this case, it is best to unplug all USB storage devices except the one you are currently using.
    • Disable Secure Boot:  You can disable secure, safe and fast boot, sometimes disabling them help boot the HP laptop from USB Pen Drive.
    • Create a bootable USB device again: You can repeat the steps if you made the bootable flash drive yourself. Some files may be missing while creating a bootable USB, or you made a mistake.

    Note: If you are worried about creating a bootable USB device with mistakes again, you can use EaseUS Todo Backup to create a bootable USB, and you only need a few clicks to complete the creation of a bootable disk.

    • Turn on Legacy mode: try to switch from UEFI to legacy mode and see weather it help or not.
    • Switch to another USB port: The port you are trying may not be working, or the BIOS on a few motherboards only checks the first few USB ports.
