Question 1

What Windows 10 allows you to centralize the administration of printers for remote locations but still keep WAN link utilization low because the print jobs stay local?

Accepted Answer

Branch Office Direct Printing is a feature in Windows 10 that allows you to centralize the administration of printers for remote locations, while also keeping WAN link utilization low because the print jobs stay local. This is achieved by sending the print job directly from the client computer to the remote printer, rather than sending it over the network to a print server first. This can result in faster printing and reduced network traffic. Windows Printing and Windows Connectivity are not specific features related to this scenario, and Windows Remote Office is not a real feature in Windows 10.

Question 2

The option to manage printers in Settings is new for Windows 10.

Accepted Answer

The option to manage printers in Settings was introduced in Windows 10.

Question 3

Software Windows 10 uses to understand and use the features of a printer is known as which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The software that allows Windows 10 to communicate and use the features of a printer is known as a printer driver. A printer driver is a piece of software that connects the OS and the printer hardware, allowing users to send print jobs to the printer and use the advanced features of the printer. The other options listed - shared printer, print server, and print firewall - are all related to networked printing, but not specifically to the software used by Windows 10 to operate a printer.

Question 4

You can modify the locations included in a library, but the location must be indexed by which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Windows Search is responsible for indexing the locations included in a library, so it is necessary to have them indexed in order to modify them. File Explorer and Documents do not have indexing capabilities for libraries. Although Libraries is an option, it is not the correct one as it is the object being modified, not the indexer.

Question 5

What is used by Windows 10 to define the layout of content for a print job?

Accepted Answer

Windows 10 uses page description language (PDL) to define the layout of content for a print job. PDLs, such as PostScript and PCL, describe the text and graphics on the page in detail, including positioning, fonts, and colors. The printer driver then converts the PDL into a language that the printer can understand and print. Paper specification defines the type and size of paper to be used in the print job. Print server is a device or software that manages print requests from multiple users.

Question 6

ActiveX controls are not available in Microsoft Edge.

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Edge does not support ActiveX controls.

Question 7

Windows 10 includes search functionality that can be used to find files and folders. Which of the following is used to increase the efficiency of searching in Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Indexing is used to increase the efficiency of searching in Windows 10. Indexing builds a catalog of files on the computer to speed up searches, making it easier to find specific files or folders quickly. Profiling refers to the practice of categorizing or analyzing data based on user behavior or preferences. Viewing refers to the act of looking at something, and context searching typically refers to searching within a specific context or setting.

Question 8

Which of the following allows you to begin using an application faster after printing by storing the print job as a file and sending the print job to the printer as a background process?

Accepted Answer

Spooling (Simultaneous peripheral operation on-line) allows you to temporarily store print jobs in the computer's memory or hard drive while preparing to print them. This way, you can continue working with the application while the printer is processing the print job in the background, which allows you to begin using the application faster after printing. Staging refers to preparing or organizing files for printing, XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a document format, and PCL (Printer Control Language) is a language used to communicate with printers. None of these directly relate to beginning to use an application faster after printing.

Question 9

File Explorer contains ribbon tabs that can be used for various functions. Which ribbon tab provides options to open a new File Explorer window, command prompt, or Windows PowerShell prompt that is focused on the current folder?

Accepted Answer

The "File" ribbon tab in File Explorer includes options to open a new window, launch a command prompt, or start a Windows PowerShell session, all focused on the current directory. This makes it convenient for users to perform advanced operations on the folder they are currently viewing.

Question 10

Characteristics of a file such as file name, creation data, and modified date are known as which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Characteristics such as file name, creation date, and modified date are known as metadata, which provides information about the attributes of a file.

Question 11

Which utility can be used by a user with administrative rights in order to stage a driver manually?

Accepted Answer

pnputil.exe is the utility used by a user with administrative rights to stage a driver manually. It allows the user to install, uninstall or list driver packages in the driver store. Option A, xpsprnt.exe, is a utility used for printing documents in the XML Paper Specification format. Option B, pdriver.exe, and option D, pinstall.exe, are not commonly known utilities and are not used for staging drivers.

Question 12

The Devices and Printers applet is capable of installing printers on remote computers.

Accepted Answer

The Devices and Printers applet is designed for managing devices and printers connected to the local computer, not for installing printers on remote computers.

Question 13

In Windows 10, which of the following is updated each time a file is changed to ensure that search results are current?

Accepted Answer

The index is updated each time a file is changed to ensure that search results are current. This is because the index keeps track of the file locations and contents, making it easier and faster to search for specific files.

Question 14

New in Windows 10 is a virtual printer for PDF documents named Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

Accepted Answer

The Microsoft XPS Document Writer is not a PDF printer; it prints to the Microsoft XPS Document format. The virtual printer for PDF documents introduced in Windows 10 is named "Microsoft Print to PDF."

Question 15

File Explorer contains ribbon tabs that can be used for various functions. Which ribbon tab has buttons for manipulating files and folders?

Accepted Answer

The Home ribbon tab contains buttons for manipulating files and folders such as cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, and new folder.

Question 16

What is the name of the cloud-based storage that is automatically included for free when a Microsoft account is created?

Accepted Answer

OneDrive is the correct answer as it is the name of the cloud-based storage that is automatically included for free when a Microsoft account is created. The other options (A) Windows Store and (D) WindowsDrive are not the correct names of the storage service provided by Microsoft. Option (B) Microsoft Cloud is a broad term that encompasses multiple cloud-based products and services offered by Microsoft, but it does not refer specifically to the storage service provided with a Microsoft account.

Question 17

Local printing requires that a printer be connected directly to a Windows 10 computer by using a cable.

Accepted Answer

Local printing means the printer is physically connected to the computer using a cable.

Question 18

In addition to defining which locations are indexed, what else are you able to configure to be indexed by Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

In Windows 10, you can configure the indexing options to include specific file types, allowing the system to index the content of files with those extensions. This helps in refining search results and improving the efficiency of searches by including only the types of files you are likely to search for.

Question 19

Which page description language is the oldest and best supported?

Accepted Answer

Postscript was created in 1982 and is still widely supported by printers and software. It has been used as the basis for other page description languages such as PDF.

Question 20
