Cannot boot from usb to install OS

When I turn on the minix, I am getting a boot error from windows boot manager that says the boot data is missing or corrupted. I've tried using a windows recovery usb stick and chose it on boot with f11, but it just hangs on the minix logo, the spinning dots spinning to indicate loading, but it never stops spinning and goes nowhere. I tried with a different usb stick. Same problem. Both are 16gb usb sticks. I have bios 1.8 already and they were plugged in the usb 3.0 port. Also, I downloaded the full windows 1903 image, formatted the usb stick to ntfs and renamed WINPE, dragged the files in, and tried booting using that. Still same problem. Just spins on the minix logo and goes nowhere. It's incapable of booting from anything. I'm wondering if I can use the EFI shell to run the windows 1903 image install, because it refuses to boot on its own.
