A user’s Windows 10 workstation with an HDD is running really slowly. The user has opened, closed, and saved many large files over the past week. Which of the following tools should a technician use to remediate the issue?
n this scenario, the technician should use Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup is a utility in Windows that helps free up disk space on a computer's hard drive by deleting temporary files, system files, and other unnecessary files that accumulate over time. This can help improve the performance of the system by clearing out clutter and freeing up space for the operating system and applications to work more efficiently.
While Disk Defragmentation can also help improve performance on HDDs by reorganizing fragmented data on the disk, it might not be as effective in this case because the issue seems to be more related to the accumulation of large files rather than fragmentation. Disk Cleanup would be the more appropriate tool for addressing this specific issue.
It's A because they specifically mentioned "HDD", they also mention the time frame of this existing issue. Had those not been overly stated, I would've selected D.
A. Disk Defragment
Disk Defragmenter is a tool designed to optimize hard disk performance by rearranging fragmented files. When many large files are opened, closed, and saved, the hard drive can become fragmented, leading to slower performance. Defragmenting the drive can help to improve performance by reorganizing the file system and making it easier for the computer to access data.
Over time, as large files are opened, closed, and saved, the data can become scattered or fragmented across the hard drive. Disk Defragmenter reorganizes these fragmented files on an HDD, improving performance by making file access faster. This is a common issue with mechanical hard drives, and defragmenting the disk will help optimize its performance.
Answer is A. The user has opened, closed, and saved many large files over the past week suggests that the disk has become fragmented contributing to slower performing HDD.
A.
Use disk defrag to optimize the used hard drive sectors, leading to improved performance.
