Exam 220-1002 topic 1 question 86 discussion

This question deserves to be removed. Is pure BS

Joe Biden and George Bush jr. working on Comptia exam questions I see.

D is not correct. Disappearing files (Option A) would result in missing data, not inaccessible data. An application crash (Option C) would typically affect a specific program, not the entire system. Too many startup items (Option D) could slow down the computer, but wouldn’t necessarily prevent files from being opened. If Joe’s files and directories cannot be opened in any application, it’s possible that the file permissions have been changed, preventing Joe from accessing them. This could also explain why the computer is running slowly, as the system may be repeatedly attempting to access these files and failing. B file permissions is my choice

This is what chatgpt told me on this question Based on the given scenario, the most likely cause of the issue is malware or virus infection, as it can cause erratic behavior, slow performance, and file corruption. Therefore, the correct answer would be E. Virus infection.

I thought it should be install anti-virus software...

Did I just have a stroke from stressing about my exam tomorrow or does this question make 0 sense?

This question makes no sense I've read it 5 times and don't understand what is going on.

This is probably one of those "psychometric" questions that CompTia puts on their tests, which is probably used to bust the testing center who harvested the questions from their testing machines. - That's what I would do, if I were CompTIA... (move the errant period around, change up the answer options. etc.)

Written by Biden..........

Im thinking its a typo. The question should read: "The technician verifies the files and directories Joe is working on locally cannot be opened in any application, and the computer is running extremely slow" There was a period placed before "Joe", as if the capital letter should have indicated the start of a new sentence (instead of being capitalized because its a proper noun). Reads much better this way.

Just looking at the issue, "Joe is working on locally cannot be opened in any application, and the computer is running extremely slow." This is symptom of too many startup apps running .

A and B make no sense because technician checked file/file path and no issues. Permission changes should not affect performance just access to items and D is weird because its not like they you would try and remote straight from start up yet too many programs would slow down start up... So im choosing C if there are applications crashing in background while working on device that could be a major cause for decline in processes.

Whilst the question indeed seems weird, I think the correct answer might be A(File disappearing) which is most likely caused by a virus deleting the files and also responsible for slowing down the system.

The question does not make sense, i have read several times but i can not get it

what is this question, its like a Joe Biden speech. It makes no sense.
