Not sure what this options does. It appears that it does not influence DISM /online /image-cleanup /startcomponentcleanup in cleaning the WINSXS folder. Nuhi could you please explain this option. Thank-you
 
System Reset for Windows is known as "Reset My PC", where you can re-install Windows on a live system using your existing WinSxS.
Users have the option to keep or delete their user files and installed Windows apps. Think of SFC /scannow on steroids.

Checking this compatibility box results in a different set of protected components. Try it yourself and compare presets.
Which means you can't remove a long list of System components (223?)

Anyone who's building a custom ISO prolly doesn't need Reset My PC's help.
 
For those who are confused, we're talking about the Components page and Compatibility settings.

It might be a preferable solution depending on software reactivation requirements.
Most of the software i use is free, some are (genuine)licensed but all i have to do is enter a key, no online checks.
Imaging a drive can work well. Never used "reset my pc", system restore etc. Full reinstalls everytime :).
