Adam works as a Desktop Support Technician for Umbrella Inc. The company has a Windows-based
network. All client computers run Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. Andy, Managing Director
of the company, complains that his laptop is consuming battery very rapidly affecting the
performance of the system. Adam inspects his laptop and finds that appropriate power is
implemented on the laptop but many USB devices are attached to it.
Which of the following steps will Adam take to resolve the problem?
A.
Enable the USB selective suspend option from the Advanced Power Settings.
B.
Connect all USB devices in one USB hub and then connect it to the laptop.
C.
Ask Andy to disconnect all USB devices.
D.
Remove the USB response from the Registry Editor.

Adam will enable the USB selective suspend option from the Advanced Power Settings. USB devices
