When an application on a Windows OS is acting very sluggish and slow, which action should you perform first to try resolving the issue?
Check the application compatibility mode settings
Update the operating system
Restart the application
Reinstall the application
Add more RAM to the system
Restarting the application acts as an initial troubleshooting step to clear temporary glitches and is considered a best first action because it's quick and non-invasive. Reinstalling the application or updating the OS may be necessary if the problem persists, but these are more time-consuming actions that you would take if a simple restart doesn't resolve the issue. Checking the application compatibility mode is a troubleshooting step for when an application is having issues due to incompatibility with the current version of the OS, and adding more RAM is typically a solution for problems such as sluggish performance or low memory warnings.
