Rolling back patches seems fairly intensive for a first step. A quick hardware check would take a few minutes at most and eliminate some causes of a sudden reboot. I vote B.

Full hardware check takes 10 times longer than rollback. Did you ever try running Memory check on a PC? It can take HOURS.

Selected Answer: B
Identify the problem- 1st step of Troubleshooting "Run both CPU and memory test" - Windows 10 Home edition's minimum system requirement is 16GB. This seems to be hinting at a reboot due to the PCs Hardware (HDD or SDD) not meeting that minimum. Perhaps the system only has less than 16GB. The system might not be able to handle the installation. B- makes the most sense

The reason why the answer is B is because while an update did occur that could be a coincidence and the issue may have nothing to do with it. Rolling back an update is way more intensive then just checking performance reports.

A reboot that occurs in the middle of the night is often due to an automatic update, such as a Windows update or patch. It is possible that a recent update caused the issue with loading applications. The first logical step is to check for recently installed patches or updates and roll them back one by one to identify if an update is responsible for the problem.

Absolutely mind boggling people are saying C on this. Do you seriously think its a good FIRST STEP in troubleshooting is to roll back an update ONE AT A TIME until you eventually maybe get something that works? Verify the hardware functionality before anything else, its quick and easy and might locate the problem.

Sure, it might likely be an issue with a recent update installed. What if it isn't? You do not immediately jump to a conclusion when troubleshooting, you test things until you find out what exactly is the issue and then attempt to fix it.

Timing of the issue: The problem occurred after a reboot in the middle of the night, which often indicates that automatic updates were installed. Windows 10 typically performs updates and reboots during off-hours.

"after a reboot occurred in the middle of the night." < This is a 100% indicator that the update is the problem here. Everything was working before the update, an update occurred, now it doesn't work. And you guys are voting for Hardware problems? Use your brain.

Windows updates management/troubleshooting are relevant parts of this exam's testing goals. This question specifically states a restart occurred overnight, which is most commonly associated with Windows update performing its work while the computer is most likely to be idle.
