When I did a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit I discovered that there was an unidentified device in Device Manager with a yellow bang against it. I finally tracked it down to being the item in the subject line, but could find no driver.I attempted to read the Intel literature and Wiki entry about it, but was little the wiser for my efforts.It appeared that as a stand alone home user machine, my system had no use for it.However, today Windows Update has offered me an update classified as Important, namely a driver (I think) for this device.I would be grateful if someone could explain in simple terms what this device does and why I might need it.Does it perform some function in respect of Windows Update?-John. It would seem your system has a motherboard with Intel chips and logically is would make much more sense if you posted your question on an Intel forum website. There are prople using the Intel support forums that can break it down into simple terms,and, you will find a higher density of Intel users with the same question on an Intel website forum!And, according to posts on Tom's Hardware website, you need an Intel system driver for this. Yes, Microsoft eventually receives these drivers from Intel and posts them in the Windows Update Catalog, but Microsoft does not write any drivers for thirdparty hardware.I also see numerous links about Intel Management Engine doing a simple search of the internet:Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. I would suspect that Intel classified it as 'Important' because some critical feature in it was corrected.
More generally, Intel® Management Engine (ME) and Active Management Technology (AMT) are blanket names for a state-of-the-art solution which Intel is marketing. It mainly targets Enterprise and Government customers. Thetechnology gives them the ability to remotely monitor and control all computers in their possession.
It includes authentication and data encryption at the most fundamental level. The technology is integrated into the hardwarechips and firmware bios, upon which device drivers are applied, and then is further customized via a Software Development Kit ( ).since it engaged prior to the O/S booting up, even Windows is unaware of much of its presence and background activities.you might recall a period when Intel CPUs contained a CPUID instruction which exposed its unique factory programmed serial number. That was later removed in response to protest that it was at least an invasion of privacy.for the home consumer market, it could obviously lead to various kinds of abuse. This MEBX technology again touches upon that subject. Especially if you don't even know it's in your computer, and accept automatic updates for its drivers.Thanks very much for the information.I can't say that I find the idea of such a system on my PC very comforting!-John.
