Make sure the USB stick is removed, switch the power off, and on again. I've noticed the bootloader sometimes gets stuck on a USB stick with a damaged filesystem.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Often it is helpful to format the USB stick before using it for another image.
I always do it this way. Format the USB stick (quick format), copy the image, install the box.

It is the bootloader of the Zero itself that damages the FAT filesystem on the stick. It is why on Windows you need to explicitly close a USB device before you can remove it.
I tested a VU Zero a few days ago, because someone had the same issue. It started fine if I powered it on without the USB stick connected.
