CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 58

A user has reported that a computer is running extremely slow when opening applications. A technician checks the computer and needs to verify memory utilization. Which of the following tools should the technician use to begin troubleshooting the issue?

Answer options

• A. Task Scheduler
• B. Device Manager
• C. Drive Status
• D. Performance

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct tool for checking memory utilization is Performance, as it provides real-time data on resource usage, including memory. Task Scheduler, Device Manager, and Drive Status do not focus on memory usage, which is critical in diagnosing the reported slowness.
