Windows Users Settings
You are assisting a home user who wants her spouse to be able to sign in to a new Windows laptop using a Microsoft account. Is this possible, and if so, which management interface is used?
Click to show answer
Yes, this can be done via the Accounts settings app. The legacy User Accounts applet in Control Panel can no longer be used to add accounts.
True or false? Under default settings, the user account added during setup is not affected by User Account Control.
Click to show answer
False. User Account Control (UAC) is designed to prevent misuse of accounts with administrative privileges. Use of such privileges requires the user to approve a consent dialog or to enter the credentials of an administrator account. This system can be disabled via UAC settings, but it is enabled by default.
A user calls to say that he clicked Yes to a prompt to allow the browser to access the computer’s location service while using a particular site and is now worried about personal information being tracked by other sites. How can the user adjust the app permission in Windows?
Click to show answer
Via the App permissions section under Privacy settings. You might also note that most browser software can be configured to only allow location information on a per-site basis.
You need to assist a user in changing the extension of a file. Assuming default Explorer view settings, what steps must the user take?
