CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 418

A technician is troubleshooting a Windows 10 PC that is unable to start the GUI. A new SSD and a new copy of Windows were recently installed on the PC. Which of the following is the most appropriate command to use to fix the issue?

Answer options

• A. msconfig
• B. chkdsk
• C. sfc
• D. diskpart
• E. mstsc

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command is 'sfc' (System File Checker), which scans for and restores corrupt system files that may prevent the GUI from loading. 'msconfig' helps configure startup options, 'chkdsk' checks disk integrity, 'diskpart' manages disk partitions, and 'mstsc' is used for remote desktop connections, none of which directly resolve GUI issues.
