220-1002 Question #395: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Roll back the video card device drivers for all computers and escalate the issue to the video card. Since the glitch appeared after a new video driver was deployed via an OS update, and safe mode (which uses generic/basic drivers) does not exhibit the issue, the problem is clearly driver-related. Rolling back to the previous known-good video driver resolves the immediate issue

Question

A technician is troubleshooting an issue affecting all company laptops. All the laptops have exactly the same hardware. The screens present glitches every time the users move their mouse pointers over the screen. The technician discovers there was a recent OS update deployed throughout the company, which includes new versions for video drivers. Restarting the laptop in safe mode will not present the issue. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT?

Options

  • ARoll back the video card device drivers for all computers and escalate the issue to the video card
  • BRemove the current video drivers from all computers and advise users to work this way until the
  • CAdvise all users to work in safe mode until the issue gets fixed and escalate the issue to the video
  • DReinstall the OS on all devices in the company to eliminate any traces of the current video

Explanation

Since the glitch appeared after a new video driver was deployed via an OS update, and safe mode (which uses generic/basic drivers) does not exhibit the issue, the problem is clearly driver-related. Rolling back to the previous known-good video driver resolves the immediate issue for users, and escalating to the video card manufacturer or OS vendor ensures a proper long-term fix. Having users work indefinitely in safe mode or reinstalling the entire OS are disproportionate and impractical responses.
