Cannot boot Windows 10 from bootable USB

I recently had hardware replacements on my laptop: motherboard and hard-disk, by the laptop manufacturer itself as my device is within the warranty period.

I am trying to reinstall Windows 10. I have downloaded the latest Windows 10 ISO using the Media Creation Tool and made a bootable USB stick using Rufus. Since my laptop is UEFI-based, I have selected partition type as GPT on Rufus.

In the boot-menu, on selecting the pen drive, I am receiving a weird screen (shown below). I have downloaded the ISO file twice and tried, but the problem persists.

I cannot understand what is causing this problem.

    Hi,

    I'm Independent Advisor not Microsoft employee or support person. I have deep enough Windows knowledge and you may trust me. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.

    Likely some hardware was damaged or did not properly connected during assembling. Please check all internal cables and contacts.

    You don't need Rufus. This bootable disk will do the whole job:
