can i install Intel MEI Driver v11.6.0.1009 on my ASRock H97 Pro4?
The question is not, whether you can install that Intel MEI driver version (you certainly can do it), but whether it is recommended to do it.
Why do you want to update the Intel MEI driver from v11.5.0.1019 to v11.6.0.1009? Do you have any PC problems, which are related to the in-use Intel MEI driver?
By the way: My Z170 system is still running fine with the "old" Intel MEI driver v11.0.5.1189.

Hi Fernando, may I ask what ME Firmware are you using on your Z170 System?

Finding: Early in the boot sequence (traced with ProcMon) process SYSTEM tries to read HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\MEIx64\Parameters\PG_DISABLED

I guessed PG means Power Gating according to this:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2...nnected-standby

Can this be used for something?

Edit: Of course, I tried it and found no problems for day and a half of normal usage of Windows. I put 0 in there because I don't want to restrict/disable anything.

Hi Fernando, may I ask what ME Firmware are you using on your Z170 System?

The current ME Firmware of my Z170 system is v11.0.17.1002 H.
Why did you want to know it?

By the way: I saw your question only by chance. If you want, that a certain person reads your post, you should better use the "@<username>" option, because in this case the related Forum member gets a PM about the personally address.

My current System:

Hello Fernando!

I'm currently using ME drivers 11.0.0.1157 (07/07/15) installed automatically by Windows 10 Update on my 2014 Haswell notebook.

Is there any reason to install manually ME drivers 11.5.0.1019 or 11.6.0.1009 from the 1st page? Are they designed for my Haswell mobo or is it better to stay on what Windows decided to install itself?

Thanks!

You should better ask plutomaniac. He is our Intel ME expert, not me.
According to my experience the Intel ME driver v11.0.0.1157 is working fine with Haswell/Broadwell CPU systems.

@ Fernando

I was just wondering as Im still on the stock firmware that came with my Bios 2202 of Sabertooth Z170, should I install the latest Firmware in order to use the latest ME Drivers? also whats the reasoning/benefit of using the corporate firmware v11.0.17.1002 H versus the consumer v11.0.18.1002???

Thanks in advance.
