A user installs a new wireless network adapter. The OS detects the hardware and installs a generic driver, but the adapter cannot connect to the office Wi-Fi. The vendor's website offers a specific driver. What is the MOST likely reason the generic driver fails?

The process scheduler is blocking the adapter's background tasks

The generic driver lacks the vendor-specific features needed for this adapter's radio and security protocols

The file system is not formatted for network connections

The OS kernel is too old to support any network adapter

A user reports that the system is running out of disk space. The administrator needs to identify which files and folders are consuming the most space. Which system utility should be used?

Disk Usage Analyzer or File Explorer with size sorting
