I was trying to do a clean install of Windows 10 on the Skull Canyon Intel NUC (NUC6i7KYK).
At first, I thought there was something goofy with the USB stick that I was using as the UEFI boot (F10) would see the stick but when I selected it as a boot device, it would just return me to the boot menu and apparently do nothing. Tried different USB stick; tried different ways of building the USB stick; tried different USB ports; tried to update the BIOS (from 0041 to 0046). No joy.
What ended up working was enabling the UEFI shell from the BIOS. After booting into the UEFI shell, I could then specify the USB stick and then manually run \efi\boot\bootx64.efi. Install worked fine after that.
