CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 310

A Windows user logs on to a network domain computer after recently being switched to a roaming profile. The user reports extremely long startup times.
Which of the following should a technician check to address this issue?

Answer options

• A. The amount of data on the user's desktop.
• B. The total quantity of RAM installed on the computer.
• C. The free space available on the network share.
• D. The size of the Windows swap file.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a large amount of data on the user's desktop can slow down startup times due to the profile needing to load all that information. Options B, C, and D are less relevant since they do not directly relate to the performance impact caused by loading a roaming profile with extensive desktop data.
