An employee reports that their workstation has recently suffered frequent instances of data loss and file corruption. As part of your diagnosis, what is the FIRST action you should take to determine the root cause of the issue?
Check for any error messages in the S.M.A.R.T. status and LED status indicators on storage drives.
Recreate the user profiles as they may be causing data mismanagement.
Scan for missing or damaged files within the user's file system.
Conduct an antivirus scan to rule out malware as the root cause for data loss.
