CompTIA 220-1202 Online Access

Outdated images and website data often result from cached files in the browser. The Internet Options panel in Windows (specifically under the General tab) allows users to clear browsing history, including cached images and files, which forces the browser to load the most current versions of web content.

A. Administrative Tools is used for advanced system management, not browser settings.

B. Windows Defender Firewall controls network traffic and security rules, not caching.

D. Ease of Access provides accessibility features for users with disabilities — unrelated to web browsing issues.

When DHCP isn’t enabled, static IPs must be assigned manually, so the engineering team provides the IP details.

From Travis Everett – All-in-One Exam Guide:

“If DHCP is unavailable, technicians need the static IP configuration to connect devices to the network.” .

Extra icons in the system tray after an update often indicate new background apps loading at startup, increasing boot time. The Mike Meyers Lab Manual explains that “autostarting programs will slow down your system,” and Windows provides control through Task Manager’s Startup tab to enable/disable startup programs—specifically calling this out as useful “especially if Windows is slow to load.” The All-in-One Exam Guide gives the same practical step: open Task Manager’s Startup tab and “review the enabled applications for any you don’t need,” then disable unnecessary ones to regain speed.

Importantly, the All-in-One answer guidance explicitly notes that disabling unnecessary startup programs is the least disruptive first action: “Andre’s best option would be to disable unnecessary startup programs… A system restore might help… but it’ll be much slower and more disruptive.”

Uninstalling the update or restoring the system are more disruptive and should come later if simpler optimization fails. Antivirus scanning can be appropriate if no obvious cause exists, but the clear clue here is new startup items (system tray icons).

The ext4 (Fourth Extended Filesystem) is the most widely used default filesystem in modern Linux distributions. It is designed for high performance, scalability, and reliability, and is supported by all mainstream Linux kernels.

A. exFAT is used for cross-platform external drives, not native Linux systems.

B. APFS is Apple ' s proprietary filesystem for macOS and iOS.

D. NTFS is the default filesystem for Windows, not Linux.
