i did what you said, so probably 3rd time, because i did it after install windows too... but Error 20: Cannot locate ME device.

only update tool didn't gave me any problems but there only old versions on site

looking a little odd

btw... on the support page TEEDriverW10x64.sys file have latter date than you suggest me, i mean intel driver component mei\win10 etc.

strange thing couple a month ago this parameter is gone... so i just don't see it at all(device manager)... in bios 16.1.25.2124

Since you can see your current Intel ME Firmware version displayed in your BIOS (16.1.25.2124), your Intel ME firmware is not corrupted (you would have seen 0.0.0.0 as Intel ME Firmware version in your BIOS if your Intel ME Firmware was corrupted), so the root cause of your issue (Intel MEI Device missing from your Device Manager) seems to be located either at the boot side, or at the Windows side :

- Turn off your PC > Turn off your PSU for 60 sec > Turn on your PSU > Turn on your PC
- If your Intel MEI Device is still missing from your Device Manager : Please show me a full screenshot (or link me an .csv extract : File > Export) of all your DriverStore via Driver Store Explorer (to launch as admin).

this without variants started after iobit "update" of mei...  this stuff just gone from device manager,,, everything works and in bios i had normal version, so didn't care about that, then update firmware by update tool from the assus my mobo page before update bios, and does all i need... now, because of absent update tool with current version of fw, i can not  test new bios, and because i "update" mei by driver booster i can not update firmware by this package

[einherz]

i even did some trick in update tool i change file me.bin to 16.1.27.2176.bin of course rename it to me.bin start update tool then. restart>go to bios and see same xxx2124 version, i even have one suspicion, there new fw but with old number because of update tool could read version number from other file:) but i don't know how exactly that works so don't sure, but modified update tool works as should as i remember... in windows drivers folder i can see that updated .sys file as i said before, but i check active drivers and this one TEEDriverW10x64.sys wasn't found

btw2:) after install this thing DRV_MEI_Intel_Cons_TP_W11_64_V2251420_20230418B.zip from support page for my mobo, path of installation is empty Program Files (x86)\intel after restart pc path just gone... but after install it's wrote everything installed, TEEDriverW10x64.sys <-- this file in system32 have same date what you sent me, but not new what in  DRV_MEI_Intel_Cons_TP_W11_64_V2251420_20230418B.zip.... as i said, only update tool all did right, and update me to 2124 from 2020... but for new version update tool is absent

and in the system TEEDriverW10x64.sys didn't active, in any way i didn't found it in the memory
