Question 1. Pick three security failures of Windows system and explain how you would address them.
2.
Failures of window system and addressing them:
(a) Failure of system restore in windows system:
System Restore is a powerful utility in Windows that allows your system to roll back to a previous point in time. Basically, it is used to undo the changes made to your system.
But System Restore is not successful at all times. You may get errors like ‘System Restore did not complete successfully’ on Windows 10, Windows 7 or other versions.
I would address this problem by an easiest solution is to try another restore point. The point you have selected may have gotten corrupted and preventing you from completing the restore successfully. Hence, by using a different restore point, you are eliminating that possibility.
(b) Upgrade failure of windows 10:
Most Windows 10 upgrades and feature updates succeed without incident. But if you're encountering problems, especially with an older PC, use these tools and techniques to figure out what's going wrong.
I would address this by saying that, PC manufacturers released updates to their BIOS code, specifically designed to address upgrade issues, and sometimes just upgrading the BIOS is enough to solve a failed upgrade.
(c) Failure in booting:
Like Windows 8 before it, Windows 10 uses a hybrid boot to enable fast boot times. When you shut the system down, apps and app processes are terminated, but the Windows kernel itself is hibernated to allow for a faster restart. In theory, it's great, but it seems to still be very slow for some Windows 10 users.
I would address this problem by, disabling it by searching for Power Options in the Start Menu and running the matching Control Panel applet, then in the left-hand pane click Choose what the power buttons do. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable, scroll down and un-tick Turn on fast start-up, then click Save changes. This should prevent very slow starts on affected PCs. Some users report that if they subsequently reboot, re-trace their steps and re-enable fast start-up the problem remains cured.
