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

    I'm asking not about BIOS settings but about USB boot mode. What is the exact name in boot menu you select?

    Not sure what the boot mode is for the USB

    Secure boot is ON

    After reset and pressing F12, brings up the "startup device preference" for which 

    USB HDD:SANDISK, PARTITION 1

    >>UEFI: SANDISK, PARTITION 1

    Is selected

    After reset and F11,bring up the "choose an option" for which

    USE DEVICE is selected

    then

    SANDISK, PARTITION 1 is then selected

    You need to use UEFI SANDISK option always. Please check if BIOS has some boot sector protection.

    And try to turn off Secure boot for a time of installation.

    Did you look at the link I sent regarding the disk management report? is it significant?

    In BIOS under security it says that a secure boot is enabled

    Under startup the current settings are:

    CSM - DISABLED

    BOOT MODE - UEFI ONLY

    BOOT UP NUM LOCK STATUS - ON

    If I change CSM to ENABLED then:

    BOOT MODE has the option of: AUTO, UEFI ONLY or LEGACY ONLY

    (NEW OPTION) BOOT PRIORITY: UEFI 1ST or LEGACY FIRST

    BOOT UP NUM LOCK STATUS - ON

    The screenshots show typical picture and say nothing about problem.

    Try to turn off secure boot but use UEFI boot.
