What indicates a potential software conflict?

Unexplained application crashes or failures are a strong indicator of a potential software conflict. When multiple applications or processes are running on a system, they may compete for resources or attempt to interact with each other, leading to instability. If two pieces of software are not compatible—perhaps due to differences in their coding, outdated versions, or conflicting system requirements—this can manifest as unexpected crashes or failure to run. Recognizing these crashes as a symptom allows for investigation into what might be causing them, whether it's another application, a recent update, or a corrupted file.

In the context of the other options, increased system speed, enhanced user interface, and updated software features do not suggest issues but rather improvements in performance and usability. These aspects typically represent successful updates or a well-functioning system, contrasting with the detrimental impacts of software conflicts indicated by application failures.
