Will not boot any UEFI thumb drive on GA-Z87X-UD7 TH motherboard

Folks,

I tried to boot USB thumb drive (8gb USB stick) but boot menu only display thumb drive in legacy boot mode.  It can see UEFI boots on other SSD drives and hard drives but not thumb drives on the same boot menu.  I set boot mode as legacy and UEFI on BIOS setting and disabled secure boot mode.

My other computers can see UEFI boot on my same thumb drive but not Gigabyte motherboard.  I installed Clover EFI and its boot manager can see UEFI boot on the same stick but not BIOS firmware.

Does anyone have any solution with that UEFI boot problem?  I think that possible bug in BIOS firmware cause UEFI boot detection failure on thumb drives.  Its BIOS version is F2.

Thanks,
Sword7
