A technician is performing a malware removal process on a PC running Windows 10. As part of the best practice procedures for malware removal, they need to disable System Restore. Which of the following describes the correct sequence to achieve this?
Open Settings, go to Update & Security, select Backup, and turn off the toggle for Back up using File History to disable System Restore.
Open Control Panel, navigate to System and Security, select System, click on the System protection link, and adjust the settings under the Protection Settings dialog.
Right-click on the taskbar, open Task Manager, go to the Startup tab, and disable System Restore from the list of startup items.
In the search bar, type 'Restore' and select 'Create a restore point,' then under System Protection, use the slider to set the disk space usage for System Restore to zero.
The correct way to disable System Restore involves accessing the System Properties dialog, which is accessed via the Control Panel. From there, navigating to the 'System Protection' tab and choosing the appropriate drive configurations ensures that System Restore can be turned off for specific drives, where changes are confirmed by applying the modifications. This process is essential for ensuring that malware does not remain in the system by eliminating the possibility of reverting to a system state that might still be infected.
