Explanation

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is the setting that should be checked when a computer is not booting from a flash drive containing an OS image. UEFI is a modern firmware that replaces the traditional BIOS and includes a "Secure Boot" feature that can prevent unauthorized operating systems from loading during the system's boot process. This security feature might be the reason the computer cannot access the flash drive before loading the OS. Disabling Secure Boot or adjusting the boot order within the UEFI settings can allow the system to boot from the flash drive.
