    Use this to do it for you, you only need to format the USB FAT32 in explorer and copy the files to it.

    Is your system a brand system or a selfbuild? If the latter, you probably don't even have secureboot enabled anyway.

    You can try this script; it creates 2 partitions and AFAIK you don't have to worry "about something about deactivating boot ".

    I only show what the tool says when i try to use it for Windows ISO.

    It created the USB, but only boots Legacy BIOS, it seems, and when the usb is inserted in the usb port on a running windows, windows wants to format it.

    using rufus is easy the only reason it creates 2 folders as ya say is as mentioned above it dosent do anything to the install process at all the iso will still be the same size and have the same stuff on it as ya want it too

    the only reason it makes 2 folders is depending if theres more than 1 installation on it which if its doing as you say uve more than 1 version of 10 on the iso itself disabling secure boot is just depending on the make of computer you have with whatever partion its is MBR or GPT it does nothing to the install cause ive to do it with mine when installing and mine works as normal ya can turn it back on when install is finished

    Isn't the two partitions for one to be FAT32 to boot uefi from? And the other (ntfs) contains the actual windows install media?

    It's not your systemdrive, it's just the usb key that will be setup by rufus.
