Thank you SO MUCH!! I passed my Core 2 today!! And since I passed my Core 1 with your help in January, I got a job at an MSP in Orlando FL as a help desk technician! Thank you for doing these! They really do help those of us that can’t afford the expensive trainings out there and I’ve already referred your videos to a bunch of people!

I've been utilizing your A+ videos since I started studying for the 1101 back in March, I passed that in early May and am now using them for the 1102 which I'll be taking in 10 days! Your videos combined with Professor Messer's (plus his practice exams) have made learning and studying a cake walk. They're perfect for listening to podcast style when I'm meal prepping, stretching before going to the gym, etc. I love your personality and the way you thoroughly explain every possible answer. Thank you so much!

[@BurningIceTech]

Oh wow that's awesome! I really hope the 2nd one goes well for you too I see a lot of people say they listen to videos while doing something else. Funny enough I actually originally did not make them to be used that way but then afterwards it turned out that they work very well that way. I guess it worked out nicely like that which is great

I passed!! I think this video and his other one definitely assisted me. PBQs were insanely confusing. The only one I felt I was able to do correctly was one about emails and whether or not they were to be trusted. The others I wouldn’t know where to begin on telling you where to find reliable resources for. My recommendation for anyone taking the test is to really, REALLY pay attention to the wording and know your course objectives like the back of your hand. And to be confident in choosing the BEST answer. Comptia has their own way of wording questions and deeming what is correct. Be confident and study hard. You’ll pass.

I have a question: for Question 39, why would you choose C instead of B? You said that in a RL sitituation, you would do B and C, which makes sense, but in the context of the question, and having to just pick one, would C enable the use of the "locally attached devices"?

Hello Meneer, this video is so frigging good, I cannot stop talking about it. Oh yes, I have to also tell you: I accidentally stumbled upon the ultimate Easter egg: my neighbor's dog buried a bone in my backyard, and it turned out to be a chocolate egg from last year's hunt! Okay, I have a problem with question 39. Your answer was C), but I think the answer should be B) instead. Yes, C) has to be done, but that does not "fix" the immediate issue. In my view, this question should have had 2 answers. To avoid the obvious that this update will re-populate, we have to stop the updates, which is 100% correct. However, it does not fix the issue.

ques 39 should be to rollback update

[@LastRightsTV]

I agree, rollback would FIX the problem, as the question asks you to do. Disabling updates would not FIX the problem it would stop it from happening again but not fix it. Some people said check for updates to try and get the drivers to update but we cannot say if the update process will find new drivers or not, however we can confirm the drive was working before the initial update. Rollback is the only solution that makes sense in the given options.

I'm a little confused on question 60 at 2:01:00. If you can pick only one answer, why not B? Because with C, the user just wouldn't receive future updates. It wouldn't actually remedy the problem without first doing B.

[@disturbed4everluke]

thanks for the videos! question 39 is strange. disabeling the windows update service will not fix the issue. b will in rolling back the update. c will prevent further windows updates but it won't do anything to fix problems caused a recent update. the update is already installed. turning off the update service will not fix it.

[@Wayofthelao]

Hello, great videos. I appreciate the hard work that went into it. Question on number 39, how would disabling windows update service actually fix the issue when rolling back the update would allow the system to function as it did before the update?

[@Grzegorz-Brzeczyszczykiewicz3]

Your accent adds a humoristic aspect to these videos '(...)we need to frrreaking clean it!' 😅

[@nizarlahmar1431]

Question 39. How is disabling Windows Update going to fix the issue? You also said in real life I would roll back, since obviously rolling back is what actually fixes the issue, while disabling only prevents the issue before it happens. So why would we pick C?

[@harrygamer4190]

Agree you won’t even fix the issue with c 😂😂😂😂it’s B

[@victoriap.m.6960]

Yeah C is definitely NOT the answer. You should never completely disable windows updates I was conflicted between A and B, because A will also check for driver updates that would fix the issue.

[@disturbed4everluke]

can you truely recover data that has been low level formatted? where all info has been overwriitten with zeros many times?

[@animepersonthing]

For 39, is the “a) check for updates” not in regards to device drivers? Which would fix the issue is the windows update wasn’t capable with the old device drivers. Wouldn’t you do that before rolling back because security is a higher priority? Maybe I’m over thinking it but just listening, my immediate thought was to check for device driver updates, and I know A is pretty vague. Just a thought

[@normancoppin8409]

I love easter eggs

[@Boe-Dude]

Quick question about the exam price (for anyone who knows): Do I have to buy another A+ voucher for the 1102, or does the $254 USD voucher pay for both parts of the exam? I don’t want to accidentally waste money if it covers the cost of both 1101 & 1102. Also, thank you for teaching this stuff! I will be taking this exam next week. I’m 2 hours into these practice questions, and thanks to your videos, I got 36 of these first 39 questions correct 🎉

[@BurningIceTech]

Last time I checked, it was two separate vouchers you would have to buy. One voucher for the 220-1101 and then another voucher for the 220-1102. It's possible CompTIA might have changed this or that there is a voucher that allows you to attempt both but the last I checked, it was 2 separate vouchers
