CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 493

A user's Windows computer seems to work well at the beginning of the day. However, its performance degrades throughout the day, and the system freezes when several applications are open. Which of the following should a technician do to resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Install the latest GPU drivers.
• B. Reinstall the OS.
• C. Increase the RAM.
• D. Increase the hard drive space.
• E. Uninstall unnecessary software.
• F. Disable scheduled tasks.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Increasing the RAM (C) can help improve performance by allowing more applications to run simultaneously without freezing. Uninstalling unnecessary software (E) can free up system resources, further enhancing the computer's performance. The other options, while beneficial in certain contexts, do not directly address the issue of performance degradation related to memory usage and resource allocation.
