Bootcamp doesn’t restart into windows installer

I’ve been trying to install a bootcamp partition for years but never with success. I get through all the installation steps with a USB but when it completes it restarts regularly and not into the windows partition for windows installation. I don’t know what the issue could be I’ve checked the USB, and it’s format is exfat with 64G of space. My Mac has more than 64gb of space as well. The bootcamp partition shows up in disk utility but not on disk startup.

What other specs would I need on the USB for it to work with bootcamp? I’ve run a SMC and NVRAM reset

If you don’t mind, what USB2 would you specifically recommend? I had bought that one for the specific task of bootcamp

I have used SanDisk, Lexar or Sony without any issues in the past.

Is this my only option? I would prefer not having to wipe my entire computer simply to run bootcamp...
