A user is experiencing issues with their Windows profile, including application crashes and slow performance during profile load. After some investigation, you decide to rebuild the user's Windows profile.
Which of the following steps should you take first?
Back up important files and settings from the existing profile
Reinstall the operating system to resolve profile issues
Rebuilding a Windows profile involves creating a new profile and migrating data from the old one. The first step is to back up important files and settings from the existing profile to prevent data loss. Failing to do so risks overwriting essential data during the rebuild process.
The other options either involve actions that should come later or do not adequately address the initial preparation needed for rebuilding a profile.
