Builtin ISO burner
According to what I have read, Win 10 comes with a builtin ISO burner that burns to a bootable CD/DVD.
How good is it? If any good, how do I use it??
Thanks in advance.

The burning has worked for me for data using CD-R, DVD-R or DVD+R and the MCT-download of the .iso for Win10 and Win11 on DVD+R/DL discs. Have never had success using any RW disc even when closed/finalized so don't have any around.
CD-R = 700MB
DVD+R and DVD-R = 4.7GB
DVD+R/DL = 8.2GB

I'd recommend this 3rd party software.
AnyBurn - awesome software | Windows 11 Forum
Quite simply, it does everything, has a great guide, and a very small foot print.

Windows image tools are pretty good on a basic level. They work as intended to burn something you just insert a CD and it should ask you if you want to burn a disk.
Another good alternative.
The Official ImgBurn Website
poweriso is also good but its a paid software.

For using the built-in Windows 7/10/11 burner (Windows Disc Image Burner):

How to burn an ISO file from the command prompt in Windows 10
I've used it sometimes, but I prefer Imgburn myself.
RW discs are reliable in general... Maybe the recorder or the RW discs are in bad condition. Without more data, I wouldn't risk with typical remedies like flashing the burner's firmware to a newer version.
Maybe a "resident" utility is in the way. It was decades ago, possibly in W95 times, when I knew about such utilities or burning sw features that (if I caught it well) can use an RW like an external disk (much more slowly but much more economically I suppose). They are set to control any RW inserted, but I've always avoided installing them.
Idk if they can reach the flexibility of a pendrive or other external disk b/c I've never used optical disks that way. I use RW discs for bootable media of apps, specially those that have newer versions from time to time. All I've ever recorded to RW discs are full discs that I could have also recorded to an "R" disc as well at different speeds etc and possibly erasing it first but the same way. These include bootable media recorded directly by the app, but nowadays I prefer producing an iso file and recording it with ImgBurn or similar sw.

In Windows File Explorer.
Right click on the .ISO file > Burn disc image.
Go thru the dialogues, I always tick the verify box.
You can also use CDBurnerXP or any alternative.
RW versions of CD and DVD can be used, I use CD-RW and DVD+RW particularly if the Bootable disc needs updating at intervals.
