AUpdate the anti-malware software.

BCreate a restore point.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Full disk encryption is a security mechanism that encrypts the entire data on a hard drive, making it unreadable without the correct decryption key or password. It can prevent the stored data from being recovered by unauthorized persons who steal or access the laptop. Biometrics, enforced strong system password and two-factor authentication are other security mechanisms, but they only protect the login access to the laptop, not the data on the hard drive.

B) Create a restore point. It's the responsible thing to do, like putting on a seatbelt before starting a car. You never know when you might need that safety net.

B) Create a restore point, definitely. Modifying the registry is like playing with fire, you need a fire extinguisher (or in this case, a restore point) nearby.

I think running the PC in safe mode could also be helpful before making changes in the registry.

I agree with Lilli. Creating a restore point is important in case something goes wrong.

Hmm, I'd go with B) Create a restore point. Better safe than sorry when messing with the registry, right? Don't want to end up with a paperweight instead of a PC.

B) Create a restore point. That's the safest option before making any changes to the registry. Gotta have that backup just in case!
