Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 106

You are viewing the Device Manager on a computer running Windows Server 2016. What does a black exclamation point on a yellow field indicate?

Answer options

• A. The device is having down and having problems.
• B. The device is disabled.
• C. The device is a generic driver.
• D. The device is not connected.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The black exclamation point on a yellow field indicates that the device is having issues and is not functioning correctly, which is why option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because a disabled device is indicated by a different icon. Option C is not relevant as a generic driver does not specifically denote an error state. Option D is also incorrect since a disconnected device has a different indication.
