CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 516
A project manager reports severely degraded OS performance after the installation of a recent system patch. Which of the following should the technician most likely do to correct the issue?
Answer options
- A. Reinstall the OS
- B. Initiate Windows System Restore
- C. Uninstall security update
- D. Run an antivirus scan
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The best course of action is to initiate Windows System Restore, as it allows the system to revert to a previous state before the patch was applied, potentially resolving the performance issues. Reinstalling the OS (A) is a more drastic measure that would take more time and effort, while uninstalling the security update (C) may not be feasible if it's critical for security. Running an antivirus scan (D) does not directly address the issue caused by the patch.
