Summary0007688: Unable to boot into Kali GNU/Linux
Description

I get past the posting when it goes to boot it gets stuck on
Booting 'Kali GNU/Linux'

"Loading Linux 5.15.0-kali3-amd64 ..."
"Loading initial ramdisk ..."
then stops and just a cursor icon is there under the text

Steps To Reproduce

N/A to my knowledge only affects me, and I can't find any documentation to use a USB to boot and update a drive with it.

What program did you use to create the live usb
This is the official Kali documentation for bootable USB using windows https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/live-usb-install-with-windows/

You can try to press Escape during boot, it will show the boot logs instead of the screen with the dragon. If your boot goes far enough it might help.
