Windows is very user friendly in that any user can start using devices without any assistance. As long as a driver package is in the driver store, any user can connect a device, and the driver installation will begin. Contoso has found this to be challenging for its IT department, who at times has been unable to support such a broad range of devices. Contoso doesn't want to prevent users from connecting USB devices to their USB ports. Such a solution isn't very flexible, and it would be almost impossible for Contoso to manage given its staffing issues. Instead, Contoso has chosen to implement a built-in Windows feature that will enable it to restrict certain types of USB devices and installation of all devices that aren't explicitly allowed. What is this Windows feature?

Device Manager

The pnputil.exe command line utility

Group Policy settings

5.

A user installed a new hardware device and now is reporting problems. What's the most widely used Windows tool to perform initial hardware-related troubleshooting?

The System Information tool

The Reliability and Performance Monitor tools

The Device Manager tool
