Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

None

Guys, I am seriously need help. Why is my UEFI GPT Bootable Windows 10 installation media USB listed on where do you want to install Windows? I try to install Windows 10 in UEFI. I download the Media Creation Tool and then choose ISO and then burn ISO to Rufus software to USB drive in UEFI that listed here: How to install Windows 10 from USB with UEFI support
USB Flash Drive was set to FAT32. Both Drive 0 and Drive 1 were GPT.
Drive 0 Unallocated Space : SSD
Drive 1 Partition 1: My UEFI USB Bootable Windows 10. Type is Primary as well.

Yes, it was a format problem.

Download Download HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3, and destroy all partitions on problematic USB.

What do I click on this application?

@SumTingWong I had early on suspected Rufus, when i asked you to perform a full format of the USB. I messed up in not clarifying to use windows built tool. It appears you use Rufus to format all your USB's, the reason why you have more then one causing this.

You also had the issue with your MBR before this, and again, i thought then, it was Rufus, as Rufus will modify your MBR in order to be bootable, hence the very possible MBR corruption you had.

Because of communication, i was unsure though.

I would fully recommend not using rufus any more, and using windows built in ISO burning and formatting.

It's maybe easier and safer to follow this tutorial. After it is done, try connecting your USB again and show us the result in diskpart

Do I have to click GPT?

I followed the video tutorial and I picked GPT partition style, and here is the picture of the diskpart. It still shows as a Partition under Type.

Tend to use GPT nowadays if you want to boot in UEFI mode. It doesn't matter in this case as the boot files for both are in the .ISO file you are going to boot from. You can set the MBR on it when you are going to use the USB as a storage drive.

So MBR Partition style?

I've reproduced the procedure with all the same steps and using Rufus with GPT EFI style (Cluster size is different but I don't think that is connected to the problem), and still my USB is recognized as removable

Do you have this option scheme in Rufus to try?

I just did this method and now my installation media is not show up in Windows Setup anymore. But how I can fix my 1st USB that has Partition in Type in diskpart?

I backup and then formatted my secondary USB 32GB that has Removable as a Type in diskpart > list volume. I then burned the ISO into my USB using Rufus. I then booted into my secondary USB installation media. When the Windows Setup landed into " Where do you want to install Windows", I don't see my secondary USB installation media listed at all.
Here are the pictures of it.

Do you have some data on that USB?

Glad that solved the problem.

Two options, do everything you did in video tutorial just initialize it as MBR or using Rufus MBR for UEFI and BIOS method, just delete all the files manually on it afterwards

I will try that on my 1st USB.

Forget the drive letters. obviously it is listing the two drives that are connected, choose the larger one, windows will do all the work for you.

WHY choose iso, choose USB, the windows tool will make the distribution run from the USB, your just asking for trouble and making things complicated by using Rufus....

Relax and go with the flow. Stop making things difficult for yourself.

Hey, I am back. I did not tried the method you suggested today, but I think I have another problem. I installed Windows 8.1 onto my desktop to burn Windows 10.iso onto my DVD+RW disc. This time, I can't burn Windows 10.iso onto my DVD+RW disc. Here are the picture of it. Disk Management can't detect my blank DVD+RW and DVD-R disc. My optical drive is TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224DB. My optical drive can read Microsoft Windows 8.1 installation disc fine. I also get an error message when I use Microsoft built-in disc image and " windows was unable to complete the format" on my DVD.

 

[SumTingWong]

I can't format my blank DVD+RW disc in Disk Management, but I can do it in File Explorer. Quick format greyed out.

Wait a minute.....my optical drive is CD Rom?!
