Abstract
An information handling system may include a host system including at least one host processor and a basic input/output system (BIOS); and an embedded controller (EC) including an EC processor. In response to the information handling system receiving an instruction from a user to initiate a forced power off, the EC may be configured to: store diagnostic information indicating a state of the host system; and upon a subsequent boot of the host system, transmit information to the BIOS indicating the forced power off.
