In future, please ask for help on the Debian support channels instead:

Rufus sounds like it modifies ISOs, that is never likely to work well.

Please use a tool that writes the ISO directly to the USB.

Here are some examples of such tools for WIndows:

If you must use Rufus, please read the FAQ and contact the author:
