Methods and systems for comparing computer configuration information

A system for comparing computer configuration information, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor that, when executing the instructions, is configured to:
• monitor the computer configuration information for a computer device using a log checker, the computer configuration information comprising software configuration information and/or hardware configuration information;
• store the computer configuration information for the computer device in a database;
• compare current computer configuration information with previous computer configuration information of clustered users' computer devices in order to determine how the computer configuration information has changed over time, wherein the comparing determines how many features of the current computer configuration are different from features in the previous computer configurations;
• and
• apply a best previous computer configuration to the computer device, wherein the best previous computer configuration is a previous configuration that worked for a clustered user and has a smallest algorithmic distance from the current computer configuration information.

A computer-implemented method for comparing computer configuration information, comprising:

• monitoring the computer configuration information for a user's computer device using a log checker, the computer configuration information comprising software configuration information and/or hardware configuration information;
• storing the computer configuration information for the computer device in a database;
• comparing the current computer configuration information with previous computer configuration information for clustered users in order to determine how to change a current computer configuration for the user's computer device;
• and
• applying a best previous computer configuration to the computer device, wherein the best previous computer configuration is a previous configuration that worked for a clustered user and has a smallest algorithmic distance from the current computer configuration information.
