CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 32

A customer's computer is having difficulty opening programs and regularly receives error messages regarding low system resources. Which of the following performance setting changes would BEST help the customer temporarily until a proper upgrade can be made?

Answer options

• A. Data execution prevention
• B. Page-file size
• C. Visual effects
• D. Processor scheduling

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Adjusting the Page-file size can provide additional virtual memory, which is crucial when physical RAM is low, helping the computer manage running programs more effectively. Options A, C, and D focus on other aspects of system performance but do not directly address the immediate need for more available memory, making them less effective for the situation described.
