A user reported performance issues on a computer after a recent OS update A technician is confident that rolling back the system will resolve the issue. Which of the following steps should the technician take next?

Correct Answer:C
* C. Initiate the system restore:
If the technician is confident that rolling back the system to a previous restore point will
resolve the issue, the next logical step is to initiate the System Restore process. System Restore allows the system to revert to a state before the OS update, which can eliminate the performance issues caused by the update.
Incorrect Options:
* A. Document the findings: Documentation is important but should occur after resolving the issue.
* B. Investigate any recent infrastructure changes: This is unnecessary if the issue is already attributed to the OS update.
* D. Verify full system functionality: This step should be performed after the System Restore is completed.
Key Takeaway: When confident that rolling back will resolve the issue, the technician should proceed with initiating a System Restore to revert the OS.

Why Not C (Sandboxing): Sandboxing is for isolating applications for security testing, not for concurrent user access.
Why Not D (Embedded software): Embedded software is installed on hardware devices, not shared across multiple users.
