Hi Kyle, A few things to fix if possible: I am using Windows 8.1 so my version of the drivers are the latest compatible with 8.1 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz Intel 6.3.9600.19538 Update available (10.0.17763.503) => 6.3.9600 is the build of Windows 8.1 Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V Intel 12.17.8.7 Update available (12.18.9.10) => 12.8.7 is the latest for 8.1, 12.18.9.7 and up like 12.18.9.10 are only for Windows 10. And I even installed the latest version of Intel Network Connections Software Version 24.4 Intel(R) 300 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller Intel 15.9.6.1044 Update available (17.7.0.1006) => 15.9.6.1044 is the latest from the 15x series. I am unable to install any of the 16x or 17x series on my system and believe me I tried. Intel(R) Management Engine Interface Intel 1914.12.0.1256 Update available (1919.14.0.1269) => This is a bit tricky. I am using the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1933.12.0.1301 WHQL which contains 1914.12.0.1256. I tried to install the new version from the 12x series like: Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1937.12.0.1312 WHQL Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1938.12.0.1317 WHQL Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1946.12.0.1328 WHQL but the installer said they are incompatible with my OS. Ok I skipped the 13x series and tried to install one of the 14x series (like the one your software reported): Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1919.14.0.1269 WHQL but it was incompatible as well. Btw your software is not showing the latest of the 14x series anyway. The latest seems to be Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Version 1941.14.0.1366 WHQL. https://station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=352&func=select&id=624&lang=en The installer again was incompatible with Windows 8.1 but I found that the Hardware ID matched the version of the driver so I was able to install it using the Device Manager. Not sure how stable will be that way, but time will tell. I wanted to apply the security enhancements in it. So it's up to you if you will fix the Intel(R) Management Engine Interface Intel 1914.12.0.1256 Update available (1919.14.0.1269) but I think you should since the latest version is 1941.14.0.1366 which contains 1931.14.0.1323. One more thing. The Refresh/Check button didn't detect the changes to the MEI driver when I updated it until I closed the application and opened it again. Intel's drivers are such a mess... Thanks!
Thanks for this very detailed analysis ! I'll give this a detailed look. Regarding the last bug (restart needed to take into account driver update) this is logged here : https://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=4377
Thanks for the replay. Btw it seems that MS is trying to force us to migrate to Windows 10 since the latest Intel's drivers are DCH packages only supported by Windows 10... Here is a part of the error when I tried to install the MEI driver using the exe file and not the Device Mansger: Spoiler 2020:01:13 01:36:22:730: Effective command line: "E:\Downloads\DRIVERS\Windows 8.1 x64\Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) 1941.14.0.1366\SetupME.exe" 2020:01:13 01:36:22:731: >>> Log start 2020:01:13 01:36:22:731: Mutex with given name doesn't exist.
