### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Grok Bot

### Describe the Bug

Hi — reporting two related Grok Bot / local-computer issues on Windows.

Duplicate machines: the same PC shows up twice under Computers — one connected, one offline/stale. Bots look “not connected” when they target the old machine id. There’s no clear remove/disconnect for the offline duplicate.

Confusing “not connected”: hard to tell whether the problem is the user’s local PC link vs the bot’s own cloud computer.

Reset/recovery fails: I tried all available methods to reset/recover Grok Bot’s computer (in-app update/reset paths) and keep getting a failed message. Recovery never completes.

Please add a clear way to remove stale machine registrations, clarify connection status (local vs bot computer), and fix Grok Bot computer reset/recovery failures.

Thanks.
