Answer: D

Explanation:

When troubleshooting boot times for a user, a technician may want to check which programs are starting with the operating system to identify any that may be slowing down the boot process. MSConfig is a tool that can be used to view startup items on a Windows system, but it may not always be available or functional.

In this scenario, the technician receives a message that MSConfig cannot be used to view startup items. As an alternative, the technician can use Task Manager (taskmgr), which can also display the programs that run at startup.

To access the list of startup items in Task Manager, the technician can follow these steps:

✑ Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

✑ Click the "Startup" tab.

✑ The list of programs that run at startup will be displayed.
