CaneMan, I'm glad you reminded me about that goofy IME Firmware Recovery Agent process.That's a good question, I don't know if no longer works.

Frankly I have never seen it work once on any of my PCs. I always get the message you posted above.Why the firmware recovery agent is needed in the first place, I don't know. That is, if we can trust the use of 'firmware' in the name, to mean it only deals with IME firmware. The IME Firmware Recovery Agent software is installed by the IME software installation program.You may not know that Intel still provides the IME software to mother board manufactures, I recently installed version 10.0.0.1024 on my ASRock Z87 EX 6 board. That version is listed on the ASRock Z97 EX 6 download page.

So the way to get the latest version (if you care) is to check the download pages of the latest ASRock boards, or the ASRock latest download lists (see upper left side of the page):While the IME software is not likely to be a high priority item on your update to the latest drivers list, I noticed that ASRock had newer versions of the IRST AHCI/RAID driver available than Intel had via their Download Center. That is no longer the case, Intel now has those version available, just something to keep in mind.BTW, I looked for the IME Firmware Recovery Agent software on this PC (ASRock Z87 EX 6, Win 8.1, IME 10.0.0.1024), and it was not installed. But I did find something called Intel Update Manager, that looks like this:Does this look familiar?Are these two the same thing? I don't know.

My guess is, yes.Intel has a program (annoyingly) called Intel Update Manager for Windows 8 available from the Download Center, but it has nothing to do with IME, the version numbers don't match, and that program would do nothing on my PC.I ran my Intel Update Manager, it completed fine but found nothing new.My opinion on your question is, since the IME firmware still exists on our Intel PCs, just because Intel does not directly provide the latest IME software anymore, why would they no longer support the IME firmware update, if that is so important?IME software just get more and more weird. The main component of Management Engine interface, ME performs a number of tasks in conditions when the system is running or in sleep mode. It also supports several tasks during the boot process. This sub-system is required for proper functioning and maximum efficiency of the PC. The interface checks whether the system is working properly or not while communicating with the operating system of PC.First Intel came out with MEI, started out with older chipsets.

I have disabled it myself.Like you have found out it doesnt seem to do anything for the home user after a little research.Can you offer some details as to how you disabled it? And was it at the Windows level or at the BIOS/UEFI level?Here's what I did, with unexpected results:1.

I have an ASRock H97 Pro4 v1.40 UEFI/BIOS. There is no UEFI options related to AMT that I can find.2.

I hit Ctrl+P at cold boot to enter Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension v10.0.0.0004 / Intel ME v9.1.2.10103. MEBx Login - 'admin' default password4. Changed the password (requires a capital letter, a number, and a non-alphanumeric)5. Intel Small Business Technology Configuration - Manageability Feature Selection - changed from Enabled to Disabled6. Exit and reboot (and confirmed the change stuck)7. Windows still shows in Device Manager an exclamation triangle for PCI Simple Communication Controller (VEN 8086, DEV 8CBA), which is associated with the Intel ME.I thought that disabling the ME in the BIOS as above would cut the beast off at the head and prevent Windows from seeing the ME device. Why is this not the case?

Any help would be appreciated!Last edited by SurferBoy; at 06:40 AM.
