Or at least, fix it in a way that doesn't require OTA updating in order to get a Kobo that works with your Win10 computer.
Ah, I parsed your statement incorrectly. I took it as what happened when a factory reset was done, rather than what would be needed for the later factory reset to work.. And yes, that is correct.

I think Kobo have updated the recovery partition at least once. The were a batch of Touch devices that wouldn't update past a particular version. Kobo special firmware version just for these, and it solved whatever the issue was. I always assumed it updated the recovery partition as whatever they did survived a factory reset. So, it can be done, they just need to be extra careful.
