220-1102 Question #433: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A technician is working on a Windows 10 PC that has unwanted applications starting on boot. Which of the following tools should the technician use to disable applications on startup?

Options

• ASystem Configuration
• BTask Manager
• CPerformance Monitor
• DGroup Policy Editor

Explanation

To disable unwanted applications from starting on a Windows 10 PC, the technician should use Task Manager. This tool provides a dedicated tab for managing startup programs.

Common mistakes.

• A. System Configuration (msconfig) also has a Startup tab, but in Windows 10, it explicitly redirects users to Task Manager for managing startup items.
• C. Performance Monitor is used for collecting and viewing real-time system performance data, not for managing startup applications.
• D. Group Policy Editor is primarily for configuring system-wide settings for multiple users or computers in an organizational context, not typically for individual startup app management.
