  • Publication number: 20240089319
    Abstract: Migration of a user of a computing device to accept an updated version of a software feature to the exclusion of a prior version of the software feature is implemented without user friction. Telemetry data corresponding to use of the updated version and of the prior version is stored. The telemetry data is evaluated utilizing a trained machine learning model trained using external telemetry data with respect to use of the updated version and to use of the prior version. A migration acceptance value indicative of whether the user will accept use of the updated version to exclusion of the prior version is calculated. The migration acceptance value is compared to a threshold value determined by the trained model. If the migration acceptance value exceeds the threshold value, the prior version is excluded from the user profile.

  • Patent number: 11030298
    Abstract: Methods and devices for using candidate accounts on a computer device may include creating on the computer device, a candidate account representing a blank user profile for use on the computer device. The methods and devices may include automatically logging in the candidate account and locking the computer device. The methods and devices may include creating a user specific isolated environment on the computer device for the candidate account.
