For both the executable and the BIOS option "Me FW Image Re-Flash", did you attempt to dump exactly after the reboot/shutdown? Regarding the "Me FW Image Re-Flash" option, does it stay enabled the next time you enter the BIOS after setting it and saving the changes the first time? That option should have worked. Also, try with "fptw64.exe -me -d me.bin" command after enabling it.

I did the Dump exactly after rebooting.

The ME FW Image Re-Flash is still enabled after rebooting but I have to open the normal bios Options, then press the key and reboot to get the advanced menu, there is this Option and it is Always enabled when i check.

The -me -d me.bin command is also not working, still Error 26: The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area. To enable read access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.

I don't know if this is important but I am booting in Legacy Mode, not UEFI. (I couldn't install Windows with UEFI)

Well it could be a case of the BIOS option existing but not actually working properly. You can try other methods like the "pinmod" (sorting two audio chip pins at boot time) which is the official method. You could also take it to some computer service shop where they should be able to re-flash the SPI/BIOS chip directly using a programmer. They would basically need to dump it, follow [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization and write/flash the result back.

I give up mate, I can't even find an Audio Chip on the Motherboard, how small can it be?

Thank you very much for your help and spending time and Energy in it, I will donate a few bucks for that.

Have a great day.
