Question 12
A new employee is having difficulties using a laptop with a docking station The laptop is connected to the docking station, and the laptop is closed. The external monitor works for a few seconds, but then the laptop goes to sleep. Which of the following options should the technician configure in order to fix the Issue?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation The correct answer is C. Choose what closing the lid does. This option allows you to configure how the laptop behaves when you close the lid, such as whether it goes to sleep, hibernates, shuts down, or does nothing. To access this option, you can follow these steps : Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Click on Additional power settings on the right side. Click on Choose what closing the lid does on the left side. Under When I close the lid, select Do nothing for both On battery and Plugged in. Click on Save changes. This will prevent the laptop from going to sleep when you close the lid while it is connected to the docking station and the external monitor. Hibernate, sleep/suspend, and turn on fast startup are not the options that should be configured to fix the issue. Hibernate and sleep/suspend are both power-saving modes that allow you to resume your work without losing any data. However, they also turn off the display and other components of the laptop, which means you will not be able to use the external monitor when the laptop is closed. Turn on fast startup is a feature that reduces the boot time of Windows by saving some system information to a file when you shut down. It does not affect how the laptop behaves when you close the lid .
Question 13
Which of the following would typically require the most computing resources from the host computer?
Correct Answer: B
Windows is the operating system that typically requires the most computing resources from the host computer, compared to the other options. Computing resources include hardware components such as CPU, RAM, disk space, graphics card, and network adapter. The minimum system requirements for an operating system indicate the minimum amount of computing resources needed to install and run the operating system on a computer. The higher the minimum system requirements, the more computing resources the operating system consumes. According to the web search results, the minimum system requirements for Windows 10 and Windows 11 are as follows12: * CPU: 1 GHz or faster with two or more cores (Windows 10); 1 GHz or faster with two or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor (Windows 11) * RAM: 1 GB for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit (Windows 10); 4 GB (Windows 11) * Disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit or 32 GB for 64-bit (Windows 10); 64 GB (Windows 11) * Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver (Windows 10); DirectX 12 compatible with WDDM 2.0 driver (Windows 11) * Network adapter: Ethernet or Wi-Fi (Windows 10); Ethernet or Wi-Fi that supports 5 GHz (Windows 11) The minimum system requirements for macOS Ventura are as follows: * CPU: Intel Core i3 or higher, or Apple M1 chip * RAM: 4 GB * Disk space: 35.5 GB * Graphics card: Metal-capable * Network adapter: Ethernet or Wi-Fi The minimum system requirements for Chrome OS are as follows: * CPU: Intel Celeron or higher * RAM: 2 GB * Disk space: 16 GB * Graphics card: Integrated * Network adapter: Ethernet or Wi-Fi The minimum system requirements for Android are as follows: * CPU: 1 GHz or higher * RAM: 512 MB * Disk space: 8 GB * Graphics card: OpenGL ES 2.0 * Network adapter: Ethernet or Wi-Fi The minimum system requirements for Linux vary depending on the distribution, but a common example is Ubuntu, which has the following minimum system requirements: * CPU: 2 GHz dual core processor or better * RAM: 4 GB * Disk space: 25 GB * Graphics card: 1024 x 768 screen resolution * Network adapter: Ethernet or Wi-Fi Based on the comparison of the minimum system requirements, Windows has the highest requirements for CPU, RAM, disk space, and graphics card, while Chrome OS and Android have the lowest requirements. macOS and Linux have moderate requirements, depending on the hardware and software configuration. Therefore, Windows is the operating system that typically requires the most computing resources from the host computer.

Question 14
A technician is troubleshooting an issue that requires a user profile to be rebuilt. The technician is unable to locate Local Users and Groups in the Mtv1C console. Which of the following is the NEXT step the technician should take to resolve the issue?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation Local Users and Groups is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that allows you to manage user accounts or groups on your computer1. If you cannot find it in the MMC console, you can add it manually by following these steps2: Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, or open the Command Prompt. Type mmc and hit Enter. This will open a blank MMC console. Click File and then Add/Remove Snap-in. In the Add or Remove Snap-ins window, select Local Users and Groups from the Available snap-ins list, and click Add. In the Select Computer window, choose Local computer or Another computer, depending on which computer you want to manage, and click Finish. Click OK to close the Add or Remove Snap-ins window. You should now see Local Users and Groups in the MMC console.
Question 15
A systems administrator received a request to limit the amount of cellular data a user's Windows 10 tablet can utilize when traveling. Which of the following can the administrator do to best solve the user's issue?
Correct Answer: B
Setting the connection to be metered is the best solution for limiting the amount of cellular data a user's Windows 10 tablet can utilize when traveling. A metered connection is a network connection that has a data limit or charges fees based on the amount of data used. Windows 10 allows users to set any network connection as metered, which reduces the amount of data that Windows and some apps use in the background. For example, setting a connection as metered will prevent Windows from downloading updates automatically, stop some apps from syncing data online, and disable some live tiles on the Start menu. Setting a connection as metered can help users save cellular data and avoid extra charges when traveling. Turning on airplane mode, configuring the device to use a static IP address, and enabling the Windows Defender Firewall are not effective solutions for limiting the amount of cellular data a user's Windows 10 tablet can utilize when traveling. Turning on airplane mode will disable all wireless connections on the device, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular data. This will prevent the user from accessing any online services or applications on the tablet. Configuring the device to use a static IP address will assign a fixed IP address to the device instead of obtaining one dynamically from a DHCP server. This will not affect the amount of cellular data the device uses, and it may cause IP conflicts or connectivity issues on some networks. Enabling the Windows Defender Firewall will block or allow incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined or custom rules. This will not reduce the amount of cellular data the device uses, and it may interfere with some apps or services that require network access.
