What happened?

I just purchased SanDisk USB 3.2 gen1 64Gb key.
I use pi5 trixie latest update every thing work fine with this new key.
If I use Pi imager program (1.9.4) it does not recognize the USB key.
Even if I dismount the key (no device recognized)
My goal is to setup Trixie on USB 3.2 using Net Boot directly, but this is not working.
I have sucessfully setup using Net Boot
1. micro SD uing usb adapter
2. SSD disk using USB adapter
Now this USB 3.2 key give me problem.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
