Read the first 6 Application Management flashcards as text

  1. A technician needs to deploy an application silently to multiple Windows 10 PCs. Which msiexec switch combination enables a completely silent install with no UI?

    Answer: /i setup.msi /quiet /norestart

    The /quiet switch suppresses all UI and /norestart prevents automatic reboots, making the install fully unattended.

  2. Which Windows 10 tool allows you to see all startup programs and disable those that slow down boot time?

    Answer: Task Manager > Startup tab

    The Startup tab in Task Manager lists applications configured to launch at logon and shows their startup impact.

  3. What is the difference between 'Repair' and 'Reset' options for an installed Windows 10 app in Settings?

    Answer: Repair fixes the app without losing data; Reset reinstalls it and clears all app data

    Repair attempts to fix the app while keeping its settings and data intact; Reset restores the app to its original state and deletes data.

  4. Which registry hive contains configuration data for applications installed for the current user only?

    Answer: HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)

    HKCU stores per-user application settings, preferences, and configuration data that are specific to the logged-in user.

  5. A user double-clicks a .pdf file and the wrong application opens. Where can the default app association be changed in Windows 10?

    Answer: Either A or C

    Default apps by file type can be set in Settings > Apps > Default apps, or on a per-file basis by right-clicking and choosing Open with > Choose another app.

  6. Which Windows 10 command shows a list of all currently installed applications using PowerShell?

    Answer: Get-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage lists all installed UWP/Store apps for the current user or all users when the -AllUsers flag is added.
