Abstract: Disclosed methods and system feature or perform operations including monitoring, within an operating system (OS) environment of an information handling system, telemetry data indicative of values for one or more hardware status parameters and generating any of one or more anomaly alerts responsive to identifying any of one or more anomalous conditions. Responsive to detecting an anomaly alert, an OS-context configuration may be determined based on the hardware status parameters monitored during a timebox associated with the anomaly alert. Responsive to detecting a reset of the information handling system, preboot operations may be performed wherein the pre-boot operations may include configuring the information handling system in accordance with the OS-context configuration and performing one or more hardware diagnostic routines while the information handling system is configured in accordance with the OS-context configuration.

Abstract: A method may include, within a security container executing on an information handling system, in response to a request from a process container to store data to a trusted partition of a memory, wherein the process container is configured to execute user processes of the information handling system: validating whether the data is safe and trusted, responsive to determining that the data is safe and trusted, causing a storage container associated with the trusted partition and configured to manage data stored to the trusted partition to store a read-only file of the data to the trusted partition, and persisting the read-only file through a wipe of the information handling system, such that the read-only file is accessible following a restore of the information handling system following the wipe.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and a basic input/output system (BIOS) communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising a program of executable instructions configured to, when read and executed by the processor: monitor diagnostics information associated with one or more information handling resources of the information handling system, from the diagnostics information, determine whether a trigger point associated with a prescription for initiating a firmware update has been reached, and responsive to the trigger point being reached, perform a remedial action as defined by the prescription.

Abstract: A system and method for resolving (BIOS) firmware issues affecting one or more information handling systems, includes: responsive to receiving information indicative of the BIOS firmware issue, developing one or more executable scripts for resolving the BIOS firmware issue without modifying the BIOS firmware. The executable scripts include a first script for collecting data pertaining to the BIOS firmware issue, which is pushed to at least one affected information handling system. The first script includes processor-executable instructions that the affected information handling system executes in a pre-boot state to perform operations including establishing a secure and privileged pre-boot session, collecting data associated with the BIOS firmware issue from within the secure and privileged pre-boot session, and sending the data associated with the BIOS issue to a support resource.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor and instructions embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media coupled to the processor, the instructions configured to, when read and executed by the processor, in response to commencement of a meeting using a conferencing platform software of the information handling system, monitor one or more parameters indicative of a health of the information handling system, determine the health of the information handling system based on such one or more parameters, and in response to determining the information handling system is unhealthy, wirelessly communicate an alert to a second information handling system indicating that the information handling system is unhealthy.

Abstract: Information handling systems, methods, and computer-readable media enable gameplay event detection and gameplay enhancement operations. One or more in-game events may be detected by monitoring audio content, by monitoring video content, by monitoring user input, by monitoring other information, or a combination thereof. The one or more in-game events (and information related to the one or more in-game events) may be stored at a database. Information of the database may be accessed to trigger one or more gameplay enhancement operations. The one or more gameplay enhancement operations may include an automatic highlight capture operation, a dynamic screen aggregation operation, a dynamic position switch operation, a dynamic player switch operation, a gameplay enhancement operation using one or more peripheral devices (e.g., a lighting effect or a haptic feedback event), one or more other gameplay enhancement operations, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a cloud device including an on-the-cloud analytics device, and a node device. The node device includes an on-the-box analytics device, a data collector device, a data management device, and a load mitigator device. The data collector device sources a plurality of data-producing agents within the information handling system. The data management device receives and manages data produced by the data collector. The load mitigator device receives the data from the data management device, and analyzes the data and additional system data. The additional system data is associated with the information handling system. The load mitigator device also determines whether to route analytics for the information handling system to the on-the box analytics device or to the on-the-cloud analytics. Based on the determination, the load mitigator device routes the analytics to either the on-the box analytics device or to the on-the-cloud analytics device.
