You have a corrupted bios. You need to reprogram it again, but as the flash descriptors are locked,
I seriously doubt that you can flash it via the USB Flashback procedure.

The only way for fixing your issue is via an external eeprom programmer.

Strange thing: I precedently updated the MEI firmware (Z170 Deluxe) to 11.7.0.1229, then I downgraded to 11.6.29.3287.
Now I tried to reflash 11.7 and I get the 8758 error: The image provided is not supported by the platform.
Any hint, please?

Probably the newer version prevents downgrading to a previous version.

I have a Asus Z270 Maximus Apex mb with ME firmware 11.60.1126.I have not flashed me firmware since my sabertooth z77 mb.Is there any instructions anywhere with the procedure in steps on how to do this since I forgot on how to do this correctly..I take it the firmware I need is Intel ME 11.6 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.6.29.3287.Any help appreciated...

I discovered that on my rig with clean install of Win10 AU Intel ME device is present but uses no actual driver. Being minimalist/purist I prefer to have less drivers and less devices. But I am curious whether Windows utilizes Intel ME, and if utilizes then whether should I install actual Intel driver for ME.

PS I have no troubles with the rig. All is working. It is just curiosity and desire to improve.

More info is needed to let you know. What motherboard do you have? I can think of two cases: ME6 Ignition (no ME Interface device) or placeholder MEI driver from Chipset INF Utility.

Motherboard is ASUS P9X79.

You should install just the driver then which is "Intel MEI Driver v11.0.5.1189 (Windows XP - Windows 10) INF for manual installation".

You clearly do not understand what Plutomaniac is saying, read the first post on the first page before asking such questions, as I am sure it gets really annoying for Plutomaniac to keep explaining the same things over and over again for people who do not bother reading his very comprehensive post.

@ all:

For anyone with a 100-series (Skylake) system & ME 11.0 firmware, can you please run these two attached versions of MEInfo under EFI with the parameter -verbose and post the results here in text form, compressed into a single zip? The commands would be:

MEInfo_11.0.18.3003.efi -verbose > MEInfo_11.0.18.3003.txt
MEInfo_11.0.22.3001.efi -verbose > MEInfo_11.0.22.3001.txt
