Cannot get bootable usb windows 10 2004 to work

Have rest the computer yet again for the umpteenth time

Have had one advisor on here saying my pc might not be compatable but it is only 1 year old

Lenovo Ideacentre 310s-08asr amd a9-9245 radeon r5 compute cores 2c+3G

8Gb Memory

875Gb free on hard drive

Razer Chroma keyboard

Windows Defender used no 3rd party

Have installed windows 10 to a bootable usb device 16gb

bios set so that usb is primary boot device over hard drive

Reset computer

screen momentarily shows windows logo then there is a flicker and the normal lenovo boot screen is displayed

then computer tried the usb again and the same flicker and back to the lenovo screen again 

computer keeps this loop going until the usb is removed and computer then boot normally.

Previously tried windows update to no avail constantly getting error 0xc1900101 but using windows media creation tool I get 

error 0xc1900101-0x20017

Have run lenovo vantage and it reports system up to date

Have run lenovo system update and it updated the AMD onboard graphics driver, that reported no other updates are required.

Ran the AMD drivers and supported and that updated drivers and AMD software

System has Office, Canon drivers and software for TS8351 installed, Google Earth, Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird and IMVU installed. These proved not to be a problem as my 5 year old HP computer updated to 2004 without any problems.

Tried again and error 0xc1900101 occurred yet again.

The computer has been taken back to 1903 its original format and even with nothing added resulted in error 0xc1900101 and 0xc1900101-20017 using media creation tool.

Update troubleshooter this time reports an issue has been detected. When you look at the details it says "check for windows update issues"

Then says "resolve windows update issues - completed

    Could it be you select legacy boot option from USB?

    The only thing I have changed is the order of boot priority moving the USB HDD to no 1, all other settings remain unaltered.

    Bios settings are:

    Devices

    USB Support - enabled

    USB Legacy Support - enabled

    Startup

    CSM - disabled

    Boot Mode - UEFI only

    Bootup num lock status - on

    I'm sure this is just Lenovo artifice unfortunately.

    Do you select UEFI boot when starting from USB?

    Hi,

    Try enabling your CSM to something like UEFI\CSM..

    Have you verified your RUFUS settings ?

    Does your flash drive appear as a UEFI Device in Boot Options ?

    Tried that, sent the following on their support sight:

    Have tried updating windows 10 to version 2004 and fails to update on every occasion. Error 0xc1900101 and by media creation tool I get error 0xc1900101-0x20017.

    Used system update and Vantage and no updates available. Tried clean install moving USB to first in priority and I get the windows logo then screen flicker and goes to lenovo screen and then it loops.

    Their response was :

    Thank you for contacting Lenovo Technical Support.

    Unfortunately, this is out of our support scope.

    Please contact Windows Microsoft Support.

    Bios setting are:

    Devices

    USB Support - enabled

    USB Legacy Support - enabled

    Startup

    CSM - disabled

    Boot Mode - UEFI only

    Bootup num lock status - on
