I've used woeusb on ubuntuUbuntu the following way (thisWarning: this will overwrite your whole partition table!):
sudo woeusb --tgt-fs NTFS --device Win10_1809Oct_Hungarian_x64.iso /dev/sdc
If you encounter this error message:
"Partition is still detected after wiping all signatures, this indicates that the drive might be locked into readonly mode due to end of lifespan."

do the following: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
, and choose d
and then finally w
.

Anyway, with this method woeusb created a gpt partition table with two partitions:
partition file system label size flags
----------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sdc1 nfts Windows USB 57.00 GiB
/dev/sdc2 fat16 UEFI_NTFS 512.00 KiB lba
unallocated 4.00 MiB
Finally, all I had to do is to put the boot flag with gparted for the /dev/sdc2 partition (alongside lba).
This way, I could sucessfully boot in UEFI mode and install Windows 10 from my usbUSB stick. I hope this helps.
