220-1102 Practice Question: A technician is configuring a new Windows 10…
A technician is configuring a new Windows 10 workstation for a user who is visually impaired. The user needs the screen magnifier to start automatically when they log in, and they want high-contrast themes. Which Control Panel tool should the technician use to enable these accessibility features?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between the Ease of Access Center and the Personalization or Display settings, trapping candidates who assume high-contrast themes are only in Personalization or that Magnifier auto-start is a Display setting.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ease of Access Center
The Ease of Access Center in Windows 10 is the dedicated Control Panel tool for configuring accessibility features, including Magnifier and high-contrast themes. It provides settings to enable Magnifier to start automatically at login and to apply high-contrast themes system-wide, directly addressing the user's needs.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
System > Advanced system settings
Why it's wrong here
The "System > Advanced system settings" section, typically accessed via `sysdm.cpl`, is primarily designed for managing core system configurations rather than user accessibility features. This area allows technicians to configure performance options like visual effects and virtual memory, manage user profiles (copying, deleting, changing type), and set startup and recovery parameters for the operating system. It does not provide controls for tools such as Magnifier or Narrator, which are specifically designed to assist users with visual or other impairments.
- ✓
Ease of Access Center
Why this is correct
The Ease of Access Center, now often integrated into the broader Accessibility settings in Windows 10, is the dedicated control panel for configuring features that assist users with various needs. This centralized hub provides direct access to essential accessibility tools, including Magnifier for screen enlargement, Narrator for screen reading, the On-Screen Keyboard for alternative input, and high-contrast themes to improve text visibility. These options are specifically grouped here to enhance usability and support for individuals with visual, auditory, or motor impairments.
- ✗
Personalization
Why it's wrong here
The Personalization settings in Windows 10 are exclusively focused on customizing the aesthetic appearance of the user interface to suit individual preferences. This includes modifying the desktop background, selecting accent colors for windows and the Start menu, managing lock screen images, and applying various visual themes. While it allows for extensive visual customization, this section does not contain functional accessibility tools like Magnifier or Narrator, which are distinct utilities designed to aid user interaction rather than just appearance.
- ✗
Display
Why it's wrong here
Display settings in Windows 10 are utilized for configuring the physical output characteristics of connected monitors and graphics adapters. This includes adjusting screen resolution to control the clarity and size of on-screen elements, setting display orientation (e.g., landscape or portrait), managing brightness levels, and configuring multiple monitor setups. Although these settings affect how content is presented, they do not provide the interactive functionality of accessibility tools such as Magnifier, which is a software utility for zooming into specific screen areas.
