Microsoft should remove "Reset this PC" from Windows

Just posted this to Feedback Hub, but wanted to bring it here too.

As someone who's repaired thousands of Windows systems and daily run the Windows Insider Canary Channel, I can confidently say:
“Reset this PC” is broken. It often fails, corrupts recovery partitions, breaks SFC/DISM, and leaves systems in worse shape.

It gives users false hope of a clean fix — but in reality, it causes hidden damage or instability.

The only reliable solutions are:

Clean install via bootable USB (Media Creation Tool or ISO)
In-place upgrade using ISO with “keep nothing”

Microsoft should remove the Reset option from Settings and guide users toward actual clean reinstall methods.

Here's the Feedback Hub post: https://aka.ms/AAwslbv

Would love to hear if others have run into the same mess.
