Is it possible to fully disable Intel MEI 11.8? I don't mean just the Windows drivers, but the whole thing? It poses a security risk and some privacy-oriented makers (such as Purism Librem laptop creators) disable Intel MEI entirely.

You cannot disable ME completely because it performs tasks such as memory training, and others necessary to start the system.

Try me_cleaner, it supports me 11.x

However, you must have a fallback like a hardware programmer or built-in hardware tools like BIOS FlashBack. Some boards may not start after disabling ME. This is not me_cleaner's fault, these are bugs in the firmware of a particular board.

I guess Purism doesn't tell the whole truth. Even if you manage to start without ME at all (which I doubt), the chipset has a hardware watchdog that will automatically reboot the computer after half an hour.
