Abstract
An information handling system includes a memory that stores a registry with a multiple fields for applications executed in the information handling system. A processor receives an update for a monitored application of the applications. In response to the update being received, the processor updates one of the fields of the registry to indicate that the update is available for the first application. Based on the one of the fields being updated, the processor determines an idle time of the information handling system. During the idle time, the processor provides an update request to a trusted device and determines whether an update request confirmation has been received from the trusted device. In response to the update request confirmation being received, the processor performs the update for each application that requires an update.
