What happened?

Hello,
I can't boot this device with Ventoy. I have tried Legacy and EUFI, both with MBR and GPT, but the disk wont boot.
The issue appears on 2 devices: MSI Alpha 17 B5EEK and HP 17-cp3271ng.
I tried Rufus and a Win10 LTSC Win to Go installation and I could boot the disk!

Please see the pictures below.
I could boot with a Rufus installation:

I could boot another 16GB disk on those machines:

I could not boot Ventoy installations:

Please check those things and update Ventoy.
Thank you in advance.
