Question 1

System restore

Answer 1

System restore is the process of replacing lost or corrupt data by replacing it with an earlier backup.

Question 2

Disk fragmentation

Answer 2

Files are stored on computer systems that can, over time, become fragmented. This means they are split and stored on different parts of the disk. If a file is fragmented, it takes longer for the disk heads to move between parts of the file, which slows the process of loading it.
Defragmentation is the process where files are physically re-arranged on disk so they are no longer fragmented, and the parts of each file are stored together. This improves the speed of accessing data from disk.

Question 3

Control panel

Answer 3

Many operating systems use a control panel to give the user control of software and hardware features. It enables the user to change settings, such as sound, device and display settings, all from one convenient location.
