220-1102 Question #11: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A technician is troubleshooting an issue involving programs on a Windows 10 machine that are loading on startup but causing excessive boot times. Which of the following should the technician do to selectively prevent programs from loading?

Options

• ARight-click the Windows button, then select Run entering shell startup and clicking OK, and then
• BRemark out entries listed
• CManually disable all startup tasks currently listed as enabled and reboot checking for issue
• DOpen the Startup tab and methodically disable items currently listed as enabled and reboot,

Explanation

To selectively prevent programs from loading at startup and causing slow boot times, the technician should open the Task Manager's "Startup" tab and methodically disable items one by one, rebooting after each change to identify the problematic program.

Common mistakes.

• A. The shell:startup command opens the user's Startup folder, which contains shortcuts to programs, but the Task Manager's Startup tab offers a more comprehensive view and control over all types of startup programs.
• B. ''Remark out entries listed'' is not a standard or direct method for disabling startup programs in Windows and suggests modifying configuration files, which is less user-friendly and more error-prone than using the dedicated Task Manager interface.
• C. Manually disabling all startup tasks at once would prevent the issue but wouldn't help identify the specific culprit, making it difficult to re-enable necessary programs later, which does not selectively prevent programs from loading.
