You have to boot from the USB drive to re-enter the live environment.

Since your second image shows an option for "UEFI Firmware Settings", I’m assuming you’ve installed in UEFI mode. Most likely, when you installed Ubuntu, the installation process modified your system’s boot order, and put the new installation as the first option with the highest boot priority, meaning it will always boot by default unless you override it.

While it is possible to use your BIOS setup program to manually modify the boot order and make external drives the default, this is a bad practice for security reasons. It is much preferred to only override it on individual bootups, which is done by entering the boot menu during startup (normally by pressing ESC or one of the F-keys – consult your system’s documentation if unsure), which will then list all your drives and allow you to select the USB drive and boot from it.
