Abstract
A method and system for contraindicating firmware and driver updates. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail discerning whether installation of a hardware device firmware and/or device driver update, targeting a hardware device on a host device, would succeed or fail given a set of features (or indicators) reflective of the current host device state and metadata respective to the hardware device update. Further, the determination may employ predictive machine learning techniques.
