I even reformatted the usb stick

Could you be dealing with this?:

USB Flash Drive not recognized

One thing to check, any of the thumb drives that had any security feature of any kind have a mini Linux partition at the front of the drive. If the controller sees that, that is as far as it goes. Pop the thumb drive in your PC and use diskpart to see what’s on it. Also, do a full format, not a quick. Think of the controller as an old DOS machine and treat it accordingly.
