Again, I would expect an ME FW update to come bundled within a BIOS version as it usually does.Īs for the driver, I wouldn't recommend updating the driver from Windows Update (that's what the update button does, goes to Windows Update Catalog) as driver updates better come from the vendor itself (ASUS) due to customizations, signoffs, and testing. No clue for why its erroring out, perhaps yet another fubar installation from ASUS. I checked the ME FW version with the command line, using the update tool:Īctually, device manager showed that driver version you mention, starting with 18, but when clicking on the 'update driver' button, it searched online and found updated drivers and brought the number up.ĭo you know why this error popup was raised in the first place? So I figured maybe having the ME brought to latest version would have solved the issue raised by the error popup. Well I'm puzzled as to why I couldn't plainly update via the program provided by ASUS in the first place.

Why I tried to run the program again once FW was manually updated?

So, i guess you have somehow checked that already. You can check if your FW update was done in UEFI welcome screen, as ME version will be there, you just need to remember what it was before Not sure why you are trying to re-run the GUI updater if you have already done so manually.

I don't understand ASUS statement also, as usually ME FW updates come as part of the BIOS bundle (well, at least up until now). The driver version on your motherboard page is 1828., though it might register as 1904.
