1. A companion device hub operatively coupled to at least one peripheral device for operation with an operatively coupled information handing system, the companion device hub to control initialization of tasks at the operatively coupled information handling system comprising:
a hub processor;
a hub memory device;
a hub power management unit (PMU);
the hub processor executing machine readable code instructions of a task history generation system to capture contextual history data the of a first plurality of tasks previously executed on the information handling system; and
the hub processor executing machine readable code instructions of a firmware load time monitor to, when a different second plurality of tasks does not completely initiate:
initiate, during initialization of the information handling system, an initialization management mode that initiates, based on the contextual history data, a highest priority task of the different second plurality of tasks that has a shortest anticipated load time for initialization among the different second plurality of tasks.
