I always get an error on my Laptop, where I am trying to boot from the USB.
So if I understand correctly, you only get the issue with a specific laptop. All the other computers you tested with the same Rufus created drive seem fine, and it's just that laptop that has an issue, right?
Also, if you get an "error" then I'm going to assume that there is an error message. If so what is it? If not, you may have to replace "error" with something like "freeze" or "black screen" or something else, as "error" is generally reserved to indicate an operation that produces an error message onscreen.
Or is your error this "I just get wierd Pixels" you describe?
Now, you are also saying: "After I boot from the USB (legacy without secure boot)", which, considering the output of your log, makes me pretty confident that your issue is that you are trying to boot a UEFI-only media in BIOS/Legacy mode, which would normally produce the following screen:
So, my guess is that your "weird pixel" screen is just a garbled version of this message, which has everything to do with this relevant FAQ entry.
In short, to be able to boot the Windows installation media on your laptop, you MUST create it with a Target system of BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)
and not UEFI (non CSM)
as you are currently doing.
So please change Partition scheme from GPT
to MBR
in Rufus and make sure Target system says UEFI (non CSM)
and, if you recreate your Windows USB, you should find that it works much better...
Sorry for opening this "Bug". You were right:
So, my guess is that your "weird pixel" screen is just a garbled version of this message

Hi, I am using rufus a long time and on many PCs. But this time, when I boot any Image/File that is bootable (works fine in VM or was created by myself) I always get an error on my Laptop, where I am trying to boot from the USB. This Error I had since Rufus version 3.14.* or lower. After I boot from the USB (legacy without secure boot) I just get wierd Pixels. The link of the Image is down here.

Sidenote: I tried booting from Etcher too, and got an error showing: "Operation system not found"
