CompTIA A+ 220-1101 (V14) Practice Question

A desktop user reports that every time the PC is unplugged overnight the date reverts to January 1, 2016 and any custom BIOS settings-such as boot order and fan curves-have disappeared when the system is powered back on. No other hardware changes have been made, and the computer otherwise starts and runs normally once the date is corrected in Windows. According to best-practice troubleshooting, which action should you try first to correct the underlying issue?

  • Resetting the system clock in Windows

  • Pointing the PC to a different network time (NTP) server

  • Updating the BIOS firmware to the latest revision

  • Replacing the CMOS battery
