This 220-1102 practice question tests your understanding of that a custom line-of-business application in…. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

A user reports that a custom line-of-business application in Windows 10 fails to start with an error stating 'The program can't start because a DLL is missing.' The technician has already run System File Checker (SFC) and DISM restores health, both reporting no corruption. The technician also reinstalled the application. Which built-in Windows tool should the technician use NEXT to check for missing dependencies such as Visual C++ redistributables?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Event Viewer

Event Viewer can show detailed error logs, but Reliability Monitor is more focused on application reliability and easier to interpret for this purpose.

B

Best answer

Reliability Monitor

Reliability Monitor shows a history of application and system failures, including which components were involved, helping identify missing dependencies.

C

Distractor review

Performance Monitor

Performance Monitor is used to analyze system performance over time, not to troubleshoot missing DLL errors.

D

Distractor review

Task Scheduler

Task Scheduler is used to automate tasks, not to diagnose application dependency issues.

Answer analysis

Why the other options are wrong

Understanding why incorrect options are tempting is as important as knowing the correct answer.

  • Event Viewer

    Event Viewer can show detailed error logs, but Reliability Monitor is more focused on application reliability and easier to interpret for this purpose.

  • Performance Monitor

    Performance Monitor is used to analyze system performance over time, not to troubleshoot missing DLL errors.

  • Task Scheduler

    Task Scheduler is used to automate tasks, not to diagnose application dependency issues.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this 220-1102 question test?

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Reliability Monitor — The Reliability Monitor in Windows 10 provides a timeline of system events, including application failures and installation of updates. It can show which specific module or dependency caused the failure, such as a missing Visual C++ runtime. Event Viewer can also show errors, but Reliability Monitor gives a more user-friendly historical view specifically for application reliability. The question asks for built-in tool; Dependency Walker is not built-in. Therefore, Reliability Monitor is the best choice.

What should I do if I get this 220-1102 question wrong?

Identify which 220-1102 exam domain this question belongs to, then review the specific concept being tested. Practise related questions in that domain and focus on understanding why each wrong answer is tempting — not just why the correct answer is right.
