Where in Windows can you allow an application to use the computer's location?
> In Settings under Privacy (Windows 10) or Privacy and security (Windows 11). Explanation: You can allow an application to use the computer's location by changing the setting in Settings under Privacy (Windows 10) or under Privacy and security (Windows 11). You cannot allow an application to use the computer's location through any of the other listed options.
You have just completed installing an application from the Microsoft Store on your Windows 11 workstation. Which of the following can you use to access and manage your newly-installed application? (Select two.)
> Right-click the Start menu's application tile. > Right-click Start and select Apps & Features. Explanation: There are two basic ways of accessing and managing an installed Microsoft Store application from your Windows 11 computer: - Right-click Start and select Apps & Features. - Right-click the Start menu's application tile. All other listed options do not allow you to perform management tasks with your application.
You manage Windows desktops for your organization. You recently updated all of your workstations to Windows 10. Your organization relies on a particular application, which worked correctly on Windows 7, but now does not run on Windows 10. You have checked the application vendor's website, but they do not provide a Windows 10 update. What are your options for running the application? (Select two.)
> Create a virtual computer that runs Windows 7. Then run the virtual computer each time the application runs. > Run the application in Compatibility Mode. Explanation: Use Compatibility Mode in Windows to run older applications as if they were running under a different operating system version. Older applications are often written to require full system access, which is not allowed on newer versions of Windows because of UAC. Compatibility Mode creates a shim, or layer, that makes the application think it has access to the system that is typically denied in Windows 10. On Windows 10, you can also run a virtual machine of Windows 7 for applications that cannot run with Compatibility Mode or other solutions. Granting users administrative privileges gives them rights to the entire system, not just to the single application. On Windows 7 and later, most applications already run in a separate memory space. Purchasing a new application could be costly. You should explore other options before investing in new software.
After upgrading to the newest version of Windows, an important application is no longer running. Which of the following is the BEST option for troubleshooting the problem?
> Enable Hyper-V to run the program on the previous version. Explanation: If an application stops running after upgrading to a newer version of Windows, the issue most likely is a compatibility one. So enabling Hyper-V to create a virtual machine and then using the previous version of Windows to run the program would be the best option. Unchecking the box to Block all incoming connections, including those in the list of allowed apps is a firewall issue, not a compatibility issue. Doing so will not likely solve the problem. Installing an antivirus program will not solve a compatibility issue. Stopping Windows Defender from checking apps will not solve a compatibility issue.
Don is an accountant in the finance department. For the last several months, he has been testing an online accounting program. After speaking with his manager, Don receives permission to download a streamlined version of the software, which requires a local installation. Don downloads the application and tries to install it, but the operating system will not allow him to. Out of frustration, he calls the help desk. The help desk sends a technician to Don's machine while Don is out to lunch. The technician installs the application without issue. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason Don could not install the application?
> Insufficient permissions Explanation: Most likely, Don could not install the application because his user account has insufficient permissions. The help desk technician's user account probably had sufficient permissions to install applications. Insufficient space would keep an application from installing if it required more space than was available. But in this case, the help desk personnel was able to install it without issue. Device drivers are only needed for devices that connect to the computer. Service packs generally contain security-related hotfixes and do not affect the ability to install legitimate applications.
Your financial investment company has recently completed development of a custom application for maintaining customer portfolios. You want to install this application on each Windows laptop that was assigned to each investment advisor. Which of the following Windows 11 settings do you need to configure to sideload this custom app?
> Privacy & security > For developers > Develop Mode: On Explanation: To sideload an app in Windows 11, from Windows Settings, select Privacy & security > For developers > Develop Mode: On. The Update & Security > For developers > Sideload apps > Yes settings are used in Windows 10. Right-clicking Start and selecting Apps & Features is how you manage an application (not install it). If you are right-clicking the application's tile, the application is already installed.
Cindy wants to install a new application on her computer. This application requires the operating system to have 1 gigabyte in working memory to function properly. Which of the following system requirements does Cindy need to check for compatibility?
> RAM capacity Explanation: Cindy should check the amount of RAM (random access memory) available on her system to see if she has the available memory to run 1 gigabyte with a new application. RAM is data storage that is lost when the system shuts down. Storage locations in RAM can be accessed in any order and simultaneously, and this allows programs to run more quickly than if they were dependent on accessing data stored on the hard drive or SSD. The CPU capacity refers to the central processing unit, which retrieves instructions, decodes them, and performs the program calculations. SSD is the solid-state drive, which is a storage device that stores data in semiconductor cells and retains the data when the system is shut down. VRAM (video random access memory) is the memory used to store image data that is displayed on a computer.
You have an application that you would like to run on your Windows workstation every Monday at 3:00 p.m. Which tool would you use to configure the application to run automatically?
> Task Scheduler Explanation: Task Scheduler is a tool that you can use to automatically start an application or run a script when certain events occur. Triggers identify conditions that start the task. Triggers include day and time, logon, and responses to other system events. Use the Services MMC to view and manage services on your computer. Use the msconfig utility to configure how the Windows operating system will boot. Use msinfo32 to view system information. Use Task Manager to configure startup applications. It cannot automatically run an application at a specific time.
Tyler has a computer with a Windows 32-bit operating system. He wants to install an application that requires a 64-bit operating system. Which of the following is likely to happen if he tries to install it anyway?
> The installation will fail. Explanation: A Windows 32-bit operating system will most likely fail to install a 64-bit application. Windows can use WOW64 to run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit operating system, but Windows does not use WOW64 to run a 64-bit program on a 32-bit operating system. A 32-bit operating system cannot simply install a 64-bit driver and run a 64-bit program. The installation will fail. Windows WOW64 subsystems can isolate 32-bit binaries from 64-bit binaries by redirecting Registry calls to allow 32-bit programs to run on 64-bit operating systems.
Jesse, a professional graphic designer, has just installed a new application on his system, which needs a lot of memory for timely processing and high-quality images. Jesse's computer has an integrated graphics card. Which of the following is MOST likely to happen when Jesse runs the application on his computer?
> The whole system will run slowly. Explanation: An integrated graphics card shares memory with the system's RAM, so an application that needs a lot of memory will likely slow down the whole system by using up the RAM needed for other processes. A dedicated graphics card has its own RAM and will not impact the system memory. Integrated graphics cards have a much lower consumption use and will not diminish battery life. Using a dedicated graphics card has a much higher energy consumption rate. Integrated graphics cards generate very little heat compared to dedicated graphics cards. Dedicated graphics cards require fans or added water cooling blocks to manage the heat that they generate. These measures are not needed for integrated graphics cards. A dedicated graphics card can produce very high-quality images without delay. An application created for a professional graphics designer would like perform slowly and with lower-quality images on a computer with an integrated graphics card.
