Windows 10: Installation not possible - just "automatic repair", but HD is empty

Hi.
I try to install Windows 10 on my PC, the Hard Disk is new and empty.
Downloaded the latest ISO and made a bootable USB-Stick with Rufus.
When I start the PC it starts the "Automatic repair", no installation possible.
But the HD is empty, what does it want to repair? There is no existing installation to repair.

What could I have done wrong? How do I start the installation-procedure instead of the repair-procedure?
Thx, John

:)

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

Provide us the following details in order to assist you better.

• How did you perform the Automatic repair? Did you use a DVD to perform it or via desktop?

If you perform via desktop then I suggest you to boot your device using installation media.

I suggest you to perform the startup repair using the Windows 10 installation media from the below link and check if it helps.

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
