(ii)
What is Resource Monitor used for?
It shows real-time use of CPU, memory, disk and network by each process, to find what is slowing the system.
(iii)
How can we open Resource monitor using run command?
Press Windows + R, type resmon and press Enter.
(iv)
What is Safe Mode?
Safe Mode is a diagnostic startup mode that loads only basic drivers and services, used to troubleshoot and fix problems.
(v)

(vii)
What is bootable recovery media?
A USB or DVD containing recovery tools or Windows setup, used to start and repair a computer that cannot boot.
(viii)
What are the ways to organize data on a storage device?
Partitioning (dividing the disk into parts), formatting with a file system (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT), and arranging files in folders and sub-folders.
(ix)
Write one key function of the Resource Monitor.
It displays live CPU, memory, disk and network usage per process.
(x)
What happens during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
At startup the BIOS/UEFI checks hardware such as CPU, RAM, keyboard and drives, then starts the boot loader, or shows beeps/errors if a fault is found.
NOTE:- Give Detailed Answer of given Question.[8×1 = 8]
3.
Explain the roles of Task Manager and Event Viewer in system maintenance. Give one example for each tool where it can help solve a problem.
Task Manager: shows running processes, CPU/memory/disk/network performance and startup programs, and lets you end unresponsive tasks. Example: if the PC suddenly becomes slow, open Task Manager, find the program using 100% CPU and click End task. Event Viewer: records system, application and security logs with errors and warnings, helping find the cause of faults. Example: if the PC restarts unexpectedly, Event Viewer shows the critical error (such as a driver failure) so you can update or remove that driver.
