CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 382

A technician wants to update the local security policies on a Windows machine but is unable to launch the expected snap-in. Which of the following is the most likely reason?

Answer options

• A. The computer is running Windows Home.
• B. The user did not sign the end user license agreement.
• C. The user disabled the User Account Control.
• D. An antivirus application is blocking access.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Local Security Policy snap-in is not available in Windows Home editions, which prevents the technician from accessing the feature. Options B and C are not relevant as they do not directly impact the availability of the snap-in, and option D is unlikely since antivirus software typically does not block access to system management tools.
