Abstract
A system and a method of updating a computing device of an information handling system (IHS), including identifying a reboot of the IHS; determining whether the reboot of the IHS is classified as a normal reboot of the IHS or is classified as a failure-reboot of the IHS; when it is determined that the reboot of IHS is classified as a failure-reboot of the IHS: obtaining an activation time period of a scheduled update to the computing device; obtaining a current date and time of the IHS; determining whether the current date and time of the IHS is within the activation time period of the scheduled update to the computing device; and when it is determined that the current date and time is within the activation time period of the scheduled update, transferring update firmware to the computing device for activation at the computing device.
