CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 10

A user reports seeing random, seemingly non-malicious advertisement notifications in the Windows 10 Action Center. The notifications indicate the advertisements are coming from a web browser. Which of the following is the BEST solution for a technician to implement?

Answer options

• A. Disable the browser from sending notifications to the Action Center.
• B. Run a full antivirus scan on the computer.
• C. Disable all Action Center notifications.
• D. Move specific site notifications from Allowed to Block.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best solution is to move specific site notifications from Allowed to Block, as this directly addresses the source of the unwanted advertisements. Disabling all notifications or the browser's notifications may prevent useful alerts, and running a full antivirus scan may not resolve the issue if the notifications are not caused by malware.
