Win10’s ever-changing Reset functions

Microsoft has quietly removed one of Win10’s three built-in Reset options.

In Version 2004 (April 2020), the somewhat confusing and redundant Fresh start option is now gone, replaced by an enhanced and clearer Reset/Keep My Files function.

Another improvement: All Win10 Reset controls now let you choose between local or cloud-based reinstallation files.
