Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.

NOTE: In terminal examples anything shown in bold after a command is a comment and is not to be run, e.g:

sudo apt-get install fish #Then scratch your ear

Windows 10
