Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 102

In Windows, prefetching is done to improve system performance. There are two types of prefetching: boot prefetching and application prefetching. During boot prefetching, what does the Cache Manager do?

Answer options

• A. Determines the data associated with value EnablePrefetcher
• B. Monitors the first 10 seconds after the process is started
• C. Checks whether the data is processed
• D. Checks hard page faults and soft page faults

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as during boot prefetching the Cache Manager assesses both hard and soft page faults to optimize loading times. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe the Cache Manager's role in this context, as they focus on aspects that are not directly related to the prefetching process.
