Thank you for responding, but I did not try with those.

I know. These were updated that day on the first post. It was a general announcement to everyone, not targeted to you.

But my question is, which one of these should I actually use? or does it not matter?

You cannot use v15 drivers with that Platform/OS combination. The latest v14 drivers you can find at SD will work just fine. It doesn't matter honestly, as long as you have a driver installed.

Hello

For Windows 10 2009, this MEI version must be used: Windows 10> = 1709 ?
I hadn't paid attention, but with the latest version of the drivers, I had taken for W8 (TeeDriverW8x64.sys file)

Thanks

Sorry for my english

OK, thanks

It's weird, but with the previous version I don't believe I had this TeeDriverW8x64.sys file (while I had always had it)
I will check

I have laptop with a preproduction ME firmware. Just wondering whether there is a way to upgrade it to production. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What laptop are we talking about exactly? Do you have a SPI dump to compress and attach/link to, in order to verify that it is indeed PRE? You cannot change from PRE to PRD and vice versa.

It is a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7, but it is engineering model. The normal upgrade from Lenovo does notw work. The MEinfoWin64 shows that it is Pre-Production firmware. I hope there is some trick to bring it production firmware; otherwise, the Intel Audio driver does not work properly.

What CPU is it running? Show us the MEInfo -verbose output.

Yes, this is why I asked. Lenovo's specs are not specific. Since the Chipset is Cannon Point (CSME 12), it must be running an ES/QS of the Whiskey Lake i5-8365U CPU.

Alright, thank you for the report. It is definitely running PRE hardware, which only works with PRE CSME firmware. It is impossible to use PRD and PRE interchangeably, as different signing keys are involved. You can only update to newer PRE CSME and PMC but not switch to PRD.

I remember seeing that audio issue with PRE hardware in the past as well and I don't think that user even found a solution. It is probably disabled intentionally due to the pre-production hardware or similar. At least that's what we had assumed back then after various unsuccessful tests.

@plutomaniac

For my Asus WS Z390 Pro, This is the Firmware I have installed:
-ME FW Version: 12.0.49.1534
-PCH Stepping: B0

For Windows 7:
1_) - I tried installing the latest V14 - 2027.14.0.1684 - Via setup.exe (I tried to update through device manager and it wouldn't find anything.)
Error - Platform is not supported.

2_) - I tried installing V14 - 2012.14.0.1517 - Via setup.exe (User: Thinking - Suggested to use this with the firmware above.)
Error - Platform is not supported.

3_) - I tried installing V14 - 1919.14.0.1269 - Via setup.exe - (This is one of the drivers that pop up for the device code I searched for.)
It goes through, blinks twice in the device manager; removes the PCI Simple Communications Controller Flag; but then I get "Fatal Error" at the end of the setup.

When I go to the Device Manager and try to re-update the "Intel(R) Management Engine Interface" it just tells me:
"Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"

All of these drivers clearly list Windows 7 as a compatible OS, but I'm still getting hit with that Fatal error at the end, or it just won't start.

Should I keep trying other drivers until I find one without the Fatal Error at the end? or is this safe to leave as is?

And just for reference; ASUS has this driver version: 1952.14.0.1470 listed on their website for Win10. (I tried installing that and "Fatal Error" also.)
(Station-Drivers shows Win 7 as a compatible OS with this version.)

@ lfb6:

Yes, I am. Anything that says "not in DB" is interesting for me. The repos only have PRD stuff for DMCA reasons. Thank you for reporting this. Wow, it is really old, 2nd oldest CSME I have ever seen.

@ Freeza:

Cannon Point Chipsets (CSME 12) never had official Windows 7 support. Intel has dropped it. As long as you have a proper MEI driver (.sys) at Device Manager, you're good. Nothing more to do. Ignore any setup errors.

I am not sure why this new v2036.100.0.1024 driver have slowed down my system a lot, like a lot, something with memory and I have suffered a lot of it, I rolled back to the older version 2035.15.0.1807, still using latest DAL and iCLS. I don't install the LMS as it caused issues in my system

I am using the driver 2040.100.0.1029 so far it is good and fast, somehow when I used v2036.100.0.102 my system became so slow, I remember this as I suffered a lot in windows 1909.

I am not sure if this will help anyone, but ME made my system so slow and unstable under Windows 1903/1909. Things changed when I installed Windows 2004 and now using 20h2.

I don't install LMS since it caused my trouble in Windows 1909, and I didn't nor I want to test it on Windows 2004 as my system is stable and fast

Of course it does, ME is a special chip costs money will increase the price of your motherboard and it will do some of the CPU work. Drivers are software that control the hardware, so it does improve performance,

Is ti noticeable? it depends on how expert you are and how you use your PC,

from this link you can read more https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...t-software.html and here is the quote " This subsystem must function correctly to get the most performance and capability from your PC",
