220-1102 Practice Question: That after installing a Windows 10 cumulative…
This 220-1102 practice question tests your understanding of that after installing a windows 10 cumulative…. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. 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 after installing a Windows 10 cumulative update last night, their workstation now displays a black screen for several minutes before the login screen appears. All other system functions seem normal once logged in. The technician suspects the update caused a driver conflict. Which built-in tool should the technician use to remove the problematic update without affecting other system settings?
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
System Restore
System Restore reverts system files, settings, and installed programs to a previous state. It is a broader tool that could affect other changes made after the restore point was created. It should be used when the specific update cannot be identified or uninstalled.
B
Distractor review
Device Manager (roll back driver)
Rolling back a driver only reverts a specific hardware driver to a previous version. It does not remove Windows cumulative updates, which often include multiple fixes and drivers.
C
Best answer
Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates
This is the correct built-in method to remove a specific Windows update. It targets only the selected update and preserves all other system modifications, making it the most precise tool for this issue.
D
Distractor review
System Configuration (msconfig)
System Configuration is used to manage startup programs, boot options, and services. It does not have the capability to uninstall Windows updates.

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: Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates — Windows 10 includes the ability to uninstall specific updates via Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates. This removes only the selected update, leaving other system settings intact. System Restore (A) would revert many system files and settings, potentially causing loss of other changes. Device Manager roll back driver (B) is only for driver updates, not cumulative updates. System Configuration (msconfig) (D) is used to change startup behavior, not to uninstall updates.
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.
