CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 410

A user’s Windows 10 workstation with an HDD is running really slowly. The user has opened, closed, and saved many large files over the past week. Which of the following tools should a technician use to remediate the issue?

Answer options

• A. Disk Defragment
• B. Registry Editor
• C. System Information
• D. Disk Cleanup

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Disk Defragment, as this tool reorganizes fragmented data on the HDD, improving access times and overall performance. Options B (Registry Editor) and C (System Information) do not directly improve disk performance, and D (Disk Cleanup) primarily removes unnecessary files rather than addressing fragmentation issues.
