Question

A laptop running a Windows operating system has a key that is supposed to launch Internet Explorer, but is not functioning. Which of the following will resolve this?

  • AInstalling Bluetooth drivers from a manufacturer's website
  • BInstalling ACPI drivers from a manufacturer's website

  • DInstalling AHCI drivers from a manufacturer's website

Without these drivers installed, the OS does not know how to interpret the key's signal. ACPI drivers manage power states, AHCI drivers handle SATA storage, and Bluetooth drivers control Bluetooth hardware-none of these govern application-launch hotkeys.
