Embodiments of information handling systems (IHS) and computer implemented methods are disclosed herein to restore system firmware to a selected restore point. In one embodiment, the IHS may include a computer readable non-volatile memory configured to store system firmware, a computer readable storage device configured to store an operating system (OS), a system registry, and an OS restore application, and a processing device configured to execute program instructions within the OS restore application to restore the system registry to a selected restore point and reboot the IHS. As the IHS is in the process of being rebooted, the processing device may execute program instructions within a firmware restore application stored within the computer readable non-volatile memory or the computer readable storage device to restore the system firmware to the selected restore point.
An information handling system (IHS), comprising:
A computer-implemented method performed by a processing device of an information handling system (IHS) to restore system firmware stored within a computer readable non-volatile (NV) memory of the IHS, wherein a computer readable storage device of the IHS stores a system registry containing firmware registry data, which includes a system firmware version number and a plurality of configuration settings, wherein a copy of the firmware registry data is stored within another location of the computer readable storage device, and wherein the method comprises:
