CompTIA A+ Core 2 – 3.0 – Software Troubleshooting
This course covers Domain 3.0 of the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) exam: Software Troubleshooting. You'll learn how to diagnose and fix common problems in Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile operating systems, along with application-level issues and security-related symptoms like malware infections. We go through a step-by-step troubleshooting process for slow systems, boot failures, application crashes, and unexpected behavior, plus how to tell a malware problem apart from a normal software glitch. This builds directly on the operating systems and security knowledge from Domains 1.0 and 2.0, applying that knowledge to real troubleshooting scenarios. By the end, you'll be able to work through software problems methodically instead of guessing at random fixes.
- Apply a structured troubleshooting process to Windows OS problems
