Self-managed processing device
First Claim
1. A method for self-management of a processing device performed by the processing device, the method comprising:
- automatically detecting whether at least one system instability exists;
automatically attempting to restore the processing device to a stable state after detecting the at least one system instability; and
exposing an option selectable by a user to restore user files modified during a previous session.

Abstract
A processing device may automatically provide protective services and may provide backup services for backing up and restoring user files, system files, configuration files, as well as other information. The processing device may be configured to check one or more performance conditions and perform an action to improve performance based on the one or more performance conditions. The processing device may monitor configuration and file changes and provide a user with a capability to persist or discard configuration changes and/or file changes made by an application during a session. The processing device may include a recovery button or switch, which when selected or pressed may cause the processing device to be restored to an operational state. The processing device may automatically detect instabilities and may automatically attempt to repair possible causes of the instabilities. The processing device may also include an additional chipset, which may perform backup and recovery services.

6. A processing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; a memory including instructions for the at least one processor; a bus connected to the at least one processor and the memory, the bus being arranged to provide a communication capability between the at least one processor and the memory; and a chipset, separate from the at least one processor and the memory, connected to the bus, the chipset including at least one second processor and instructions for the at least one second processor to perform backup and auto-recovery services, including; instructions for automatically monitoring performance of the processing device and instructions for automatically performing an action to improve the performance of the processing device based on a result of the monitoring of the performance of the processing device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. One or more computer-readable media embodied within a hardware device storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a processing device, perform operations for self-management of a processing device comprising:
-
prompting a user regarding whether changes made during a session to at least one user file are to be persisted or discarded; and undoing the changes made during the session to the at least one user file when the user responds to the prompting by indicating that the changes made during the session to the at least one user file are not to be persisted. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
