I used vLite to integrate the HP NVMe driver and GigaByte util to add the USB drivers to the USB stick The issue also occurs for me with JUST a SATA 500Gb HDD, so not a driver/NVMe issue I wish I could run my IT support company like that!! GigaByte Support ticket, 7 day response time that didnt help!!

GIGABYTE ULTRA DURABLE MOTHERBOARD DRIVERS WINDOWS 7 INSTALL
Trying to install windows 10, receive a message saying something like 'missing driver' GA-Z170X-UD3 (and other Z170 motherboards) but the lack of working USB thumb drive booting, and the video/USB 3 drive issue is the worst. How about the USB 3 that makes the screen turn black (not off) until you unplug any external drives. Should I even mention the fact it ships with an Intel driver that has a warning that it is only ALPHA/BETA level software with no guaranty to work? F That! Next board will be DFI or MSI, anything but Gigabyte. WTF did i buy a new machine for if it doesn't support commonly used features it is listed as supporting?

I ended up burning a DVD to install my OS, but when my new SSD comes I will be unable to use this WONDERFUL NEW motherboard to clone the current drive with. I can see and select the thumb drives when i press F12, but none of them boot on this board. Everything from an old HP Compaq dc7100 Small Form Factor PC with a Core2Duo, to my HP Pavilion 500-023w with a newer Haswell CPU, and both laptops I have all Boot of USB drives with no fuss. I bought an H110M-S2HP and no settings in the BIOS will allow ANY USB flash drive to boot, even ones already working to run Live Linux disrtos on several other computers.
