With the ASUS there is a bios option to enable a quick boot; with this disabled is a prompt to press Esc for 'BBS Menu' -- this brings up the boot device menu showing the onboard SSD and the USB.
Selecting the USB clears the screen and prints a single colon (perhaps a semi-colon, hard to tell) and nothing more; pressing any key will cause the machine to boot from the onboard SSD. this suggests there is something about the USB stick boot that is not executing, although the usb-creator.log does not report anything wrong: [20:36:10] Installing...
