Systems and methods for mitigating Information Handling System (IHS) startup latency in hoteling environments due to driver and firmware updates are described. In an embodiment, an IHS configured to: receive an indication of a selected one of a plurality of workspaces; in response to the indication, retrieve a list of driver or firmware updates corresponding to peripheral devices available in the selected workspace; identify a subset of driver or firmware updates among the list of driver or firmware updates based, at least in part, upon a comparison between the list of driver or firmware updates and a list of one or more drivers or firmware installed in the IHS; and initiate installation of the subset of one or more driver or firmware updates before the IHS arrives at the selected workspace.
