Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To address the user's concern, configuring 'Active Hours' ensures that restarts do not occur during working hours, while setting 'Restart Options' allows for scheduling restarts at specific times. These two steps together provide a balance between keeping the system updated and minimizing disruptions.
- A. Correct.
Enabling 'Active Hours' in the Windows Update settings helps prevent system restarts during specified working hours, which is crucial for minimizing disruptions.
- B. Incorrect.
Disabling automatic updates would prevent the system from receiving critical security patches and feature updates, which is not a recommended practice.
- C. Correct.
Configuring 'Restart Options' allows the user to schedule restarts at convenient times, ensuring updates are applied without interfering with productivity.
- D. Incorrect.
Pausing updates indefinitely is not a sustainable or recommended solution, as it leaves the system vulnerable to security risks.
- E. Incorrect.
While staying connected to the internet is important for receiving updates, it does not directly address the issue of system restarts occurring at inconvenient times.
