Please describe the problem you’ve encountered in detail:

  • Description:
    Fydeos loaded on the USB (using both rufus and balena etcher and ChromeOS media writer) refuses to boot at all.

When I select FydeOS to boot, it doesn’t even show the logo – it just goes straight into Windows.

I have searched the web and have secure boot disabled and UEFI boot enabled.

This issue is not prevalent on FydeOS v19 and lower, but affected by v20 or higher.
