@brianignacio5

got it. it will be better if the time can be decreased.

[brianignacio5]

It needs some time because the reset action needs:

1. Delete the sdkconfig file
2. Run idf.py reconfigure to create default sdkconfig and reload confserver.py.

Best we can do is to make sure the progress bar is showing during this process. The windows will disappear because those values are going to be replaced with default ones.
