Abstract
Embodiments provide diagnostic operations on user input devices of an Information Handling System (IHS). Sensor capabilities of the IHS are used to detect when a user of the IHS is not in proximity to the IHS. Upon detecting when the user is not in proximity to the IHS, monitoring is initiated for inputs detected by one or more of the user input devices of the IHS. When the monitoring detects an input to a first user input device while the user is not in proximity to the IHS, diagnostics are initiated to identify whether the detected input is a spurious event, or results from a fault in the first user input device. The diagnostics are exited upon detecting the user in proximity to the IHS and faults identified by the diagnostics are reported to the user.
