Check the vendor's site and web for reports of problems booting USB

.. this, yes. But I'm extremely hesitant with BIOS upgrades - if they
fail, and there's no recovery option available: bye-bye computer

If a thumb drive isn't detected at the BIOS boot menu chances are high
that either the download for the installed ISO went south or the thumb
simply is broken.
USB drives often seem to be literally left-overs from SSD
manufacturing (1). I never trust them and consider them literally as
potential garbage: perhaps a good idea to have quite a few of them
around, just in case one of them fails ...

"The flash memory in cheap USB flash drives usually comes from the end
of the flash recycling chain: What is not suitable as SSD memory
becomes an SD card, and what is not suitable for that is perhaps still
used in USB flash drives."
