I’m attempting to clean up my PC for sale. I started in safe mode and navigated to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. When I clicked recovery, the message appeared: “the system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This over run could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.” The session ended and the desktop closed.

Update your system settings to reinstall Windows instead of performing a reset.

You should try a different recovery option. Google may be restricting your access to certain tabs.

You could try it in the library, but you don’t have another PC. The media creation tool is likely for making content that works on your device.

The media creation tool is employed to generate a bootable USB drive for installing Windows. During installation, the drive will be formatted, which will erase all existing data on it.

It seems you're suggesting they should use a verified Microsoft tool. Let me know if you'd like to clarify further.
