  1. Which Windows 10 feature allows you to run and test untrusted applications in an isolated, disposable environment?

    Answer: Windows Sandbox

    Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight, isolated desktop environment that is destroyed when closed, leaving the host system unaffected.

  2. A user needs to install a legacy 32-bit application on Windows 10 x64. Is this supported?

    Answer: Yes, Windows 10 x64 includes a WOW64 compatibility layer that runs 32-bit applications

    WOW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a built-in subsystem that allows 32-bit applications to run transparently on 64-bit Windows.

  3. Where does Windows 10 store application compatibility settings when a user manually applies them via right-click > Properties > Compatibility?

    Answer: In the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags

    Per-user compatibility settings are stored in the registry path HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers.

  4. Which tool should a technician use to uninstall a stubborn application that doesn't appear in 'Apps & features'?

    Answer: Programs and Features in Control Panel or a third-party uninstaller

    Control Panel's Programs and Features often lists legacy apps not shown in Settings, and third-party tools can force-remove entries.

  5. What is the Microsoft Store used for in Windows 10?

    Answer: Downloading and installing UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps in a sandboxed, managed way

    The Microsoft Store distributes UWP apps that are sandboxed, automatically updated, and can be deployed across Windows devices.

  6. Which Windows 10 compatibility feature allows you to run an application as if it were on an older version of Windows?

    Answer: Compatibility Mode

    Compatibility Mode sets registry flags that make the application believe it is running on an older OS version like Windows XP or 7.
