Abstract
A method includes identifying at least one software update available for a given computing device, determining a state of the given computing device, and utilizing a machine-learning based predictive model to assess compatibility of the at least one software update with the given computing device based at least in part on the state of the given computing device, the machine learning-based predictive model being trained utilizing historical incident data for a plurality of incidents associated with application of software updates to a plurality of computing devices. The method also includes generating a recommendation notification indicating compatibility of the at least one software update with the given computing device, and providing the recommendation notification in conjunction with presentation of one or more user interface features controlling whether to apply the at least one software update to the given computing device.
