A new update for the ME Drivers. and a bios ME DRIVER????

[Loaded Glove]

I'm just gonna wait for the next bios release for my maximus hero viii, seems like too many non direct ways to update rn and too many hoops to jump through. Should be as easy as a bios update first and then updating to the latest mei drivers in windows.

Little update for users using HWiNFO.

The developer has released a beta version that resolves the conflict with the Intel Detection Tool.

Ok I feel dumb for missing it, but on the 22nd of November Asus posted a tool in the bios section of support and drivers. By simply first updating the MEI drivers and then running the MEI firmware updater tool, Intel tool now reports my system is not vulnerable.

Any chance of getting the ME Update tool working for us Maximus IX Apex owners? It's still not listed on the support page and I can't use the other versions.

ASUS's FAQ on the issue doesn't even list the Maximus IX Apex as a board affected, but the intel detection tool definitely says it has a problem. Why is the Apex always weeks behind when it comes to updates/fixes and releases?

Dual BIOS boards will get an update, too. Just needs a tool capable of doing it. Expect it within the next 1-2 weeks.

Oh, God, what is there to discuss.
Asus just need to release new bios for all z170, z270 and z370. take an example with MSI...
Jokes with the ME region are bad... in which case the praised technology "bios flashback" will not help, because this technology was not brought to the mind, and it cannot rebuild all regions of the bios. although technically "bios flashback" it can work as a complete analogue of the programmer, but the asus does not consider it necessary to give such an opportunity.
The life cycle z170/z270 is not over, so be kind enough to fulfill the obligations. these tools that are laid out for the renewal of the ME region are more suitable for enthusiasts.

Has anyone figured out how to fix the Warning!!! "Pleasae check ME file is correct error"? I've tried several times to get this darn thing to work.

Gotta install the new driver first

Gotta install the new driver first

I've already downloaded and tried installing both files (MEUpdateTool
and chipset 11.7.0.1040). Installing the chipset works just fine but then I get the error when running the MEUpdate tool. If I use the tool first I get the same error.

Okay so I tried the chipset driver again and this time removed intel management and then rebooted. I then installed the chipset file and once that was done ran the MEUpdate tool. It completed and rebooted the computer. Then once windows started I tried the detection tool and it says i'm still vulnerable. So I am thinking that the tool is wiggy or something. It is the FW version is 11.8.50.3399 which is the latest from Asus for my MB. Anyway for anyone having the same issue with the error code try this stuff. I have a maximus ix formula MB.
