  • Patent number: 10896144
    Abstract: Automated configuring of system settings of a computer for a peripheral device(s) is provided. The configuring process includes determining, by the computer, that a peripheral device has been connected to the computer, and based on the determining, ascertaining profile-related data for use in configuring computer system settings for the peripheral device connected to the computer. The ascertained profile-related data is used to identify, by the computer, a settings profile for the peripheral device from saved settings profiles for one or more peripheral devices. Based on the identified settings profile, the computer system settings for the peripheral device are configured.
