Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 53

Adam works as a Desktop Support Technician for Umbrella Inc. The company has a Windows-based network. All client computers run Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. Andy, Managing Director of the company, complains that his laptop is consuming battery very rapidly affecting the performance of the system.
Adam inspects his laptop and finds that appropriate power is implemented on the laptop but many USB devices are attached to it. Which of the following steps will
Adam take to resolve the problem?

Answer options

• A. Enable the USB selective suspend option from the Advanced Power Settings.
• B. Connect all USB devices in one USB hub and then connect it to the laptop.
• C. Ask Andy to disconnect all USB devices.
• D. Remove the USB response from the Registry Editor.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling the USB selective suspend option helps to save battery by allowing the operating system to put USB devices into a low-power state when they are not in use, which addresses the issue directly. Connecting devices to a hub or disconnecting them entirely does not resolve the underlying power management issue, and modifying the Registry Editor is unnecessary and potentially harmful.
