Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. An information handling device, comprising:
a processor;
a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
receive a command from a user to load an application upon a particular device type;
identify a forecasted loading time for the application, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify the forecasted loading time comprise instructions executable by the processor to:
access a data store comprising a record of previous loading times for the application, wherein the record of previous loading times is based upon previous loading times across a predetermined number of users using the particular device type;
determine an average of the previous loading times based upon the application and the particular device type; and
identifying the forecasted loading time as the average;

identify a loading tolerance threshold associated with a user, wherein the loading tolerance threshold is designated by the user for the application;
determine a forecasted loading time for the application exceeds the loading tolerance threshold; and
provide, responsive to determining the forecasted loading time exceeds the loading tolerance threshold, a reduced view of the application on the information handling device during a time period that the application is loading, wherein an application loading progress indicator is presented within the reduced view, wherein a remaining portion of the display screen other than the portion of a display screen is accessible by the user during the time period.
