Explanation

CompTIA's structured troubleshooting methodology begins with Step 1: Identify the problem. This involves gathering information from the user, asking questions, and observing symptoms before taking any action. You cannot establish a theory, create a plan, or document outcomes without first clearly defining what the problem is. Skipping this step risks solving the wrong problem entirely.
