Joseph's Windows 10 laptop won't start normally due to a malfunctioning driver. Joseph wants to use the Driver Roll Back feature to reinstall the last version of the problematic driver. However, to start the laptop so that he can use the Driver Roll Back feature, what's the recommended step that Joseph should complete?
Start the computer in safe mode
Build a recovery disk, make a complete image backup of all drives with BCD partitions on them, boot from the recovery disk, and restore the backup image
Replace the current OS with a backup you create using the System Image Recovery tool
Having Windows automatically install a device driver is a two-step process. What's the first step?
Assign administrative permissions to the user who will initiate driver installation from the driver store
Add the driver package into the driver store
Customize the locations that Windows will search for a matching driver package
Windows is very user friendly in that any user can start using devices without any assistance. As long as a driver package is in the driver store, any user can connect a device, and the driver installation will begin. Contoso has found this to be challenging for its IT department, who at times has been unable to support such a broad range of devices. Contoso doesn't want to prevent users from connecting USB devices to their USB ports. Such a solution isn't very flexible, and it would be almost impossible for Contoso to manage given its staffing issues. Instead, Contoso has chosen to implement a built-in Windows feature that will enable it to restrict certain types of USB devices and installation of all devices that aren't explicitly allowed. What is this Windows feature?
Device Manager
The pnputil.exe command line utility
Group Policy settings
A user installed a new hardware device and now is reporting problems. What's the most widely used Windows tool to perform initial hardware-related troubleshooting?
The System Information tool
The Reliability and Performance Monitor tools
The Device Manager tool
