Did you already try to boot the usb through Windows Advanced restart? ( Settings > System > Recovery > Advanced startup > Restart now and then select "Choose an option" > "Use a device" ).

Does the usb stick work with other devices? Did you verify your ubuntu image? Using something like ventoy to put the image onto the usb stick can also help to get it to boot.

Ventoy? I’ve used Rufus to make the image… I’m going to look that up and give it a try
