A developer's Type 2 hypervisor is performing inadequately when compiling new source code. Which of the following components should the developer upgrade to improve the hypervisor's performance?
Correct Answer: A
The amount of system RAM (random access memory) is a component that can affect the performance of a Type 2 hypervisor, which is a software program that runs on top of an existing operating system and allows multiple virtual machines to run simultaneously. The amount of system RAM determines how much memory is available for the hypervisor and the virtual machines to use. Increasing the amount of system RAM can improve the hypervisor's performance by allowing more memory allocation for each virtual machine and reducing the need for swapping or paging. NIC performance, storage IOPS, and dedicated GPU are not components that can directly improve the hypervisor's performance.

A technician cannot uninstall a system driver because the driver is currently in use. Which of the following tools should the technician use to help uninstall the driver?
Correct Answer: C
The msconfig.exe tool, also known as the System Configuration utility, is a tool that allows users to modify various system settings, such as startup options, services, boot options, and more. One of the features of msconfig.exe is the ability to disable or enable device drivers that are loaded during the system startup. By using msconfig.exe, a technician can prevent a driver from being loaded and used by the system, which will allow them to uninstall it without any errors. To use msconfig.exe to disable a driver, the technician can follow these steps: Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R. Type msconfig.exe and press Enter. Click on the Boot tab and then click on Advanced options. Check the box next to No GUI boot and click OK. This will prevent the graphical user interface from loading during the boot process, which will also prevent some drivers from loading. Click on the Services tab and check the box next to Hide all Microsoft services. This will show only the third-party services and drivers that are running on the system. Find the service or driver that corresponds to the device that the technician wants to uninstall and uncheck the box next to it. This will disable the service or driver from starting during the system startup. Click Apply and OK and then restart the computer. After the computer restarts, the technician can use the Device Manager or the Control Panel to uninstall the driver that was previously in use.

After a security event, a technician removes malware from an affected laptop and disconnects the laptop from the network. Which of the following should the technician do to prevent the operating system from automatically returning to an infected state?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation System Restore is a feature that allows the user to revert the system to a previous state. However, this can also restore the malware that was removed by the technician. Disabling System Restore can prevent the operating system from automatically returning to an infected state. Enabling antivirus, educating the user, and enabling System Restore are good preventive measures, but they do not address the question. Disabling antivirus can make the system more vulnerable to malware attacks
