Windows 10: Intel Management Engine Interface No Wake From Sleep SOLVED

No clue if this is an old problem that has already been fixed but i can only share my experience

Keep in mind I'm a mac user so some of this may or may not be par for the course

I was asked by my uncle to fix his laptop, he bought an old 2012 ASUS Q500A off ebay without a hard drive or ram.

I popped in some ram and a hard drive and installed WIndows 10 Home.

The computer would not wake from sleep, at first no big deal it was plugged in 24/7 anyways but eventually it became annoying enough for him to want it fixed.

After **** around with the Intel Management Engine Interface I finally decided to just install an ancient driver instead and it ended up fixing it, I tired all the other ones, tried all the stuff from the forums and tutorials, none of it worked same code 10 failure.

Laptop is good as new and wakes from sleep like it should, the driver version is 9.5.24.1790

Visit the website below and download the driver

https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOTHERBOARD/Intel/Intel-Management-Engine-Interface-Driver-95241790-for-Windows-10-64-bit.shtml

Intel Management Engine Interface (IMEI)

I noticed my computer does not wake up after the last update. I have to hard restart. I have been searching for answers online and concluded that all Intel drivers, to include Intel Management Engine Interface(IMEI) are missing from Device Manager, System
Devices. Windows 10, Asus P6T Deluxe V2, Intel Core 7 920. I have tried the Intel Support Assistant and no updates found so I am lost from here on. How do I get the IMEI back? Thank you all

 

Intel Management Engine Interface forced update?

Motherboard GA-H110M-S2H

CPU I5 6500

The suggested Intel Management Engine Interface update by my motherboard manufacturer is 11.6.0.1030, so that's what I download and install, only for Windows 10 to force a further update to 11.7.0.1032, is it correct for this to happen?

 

Intel Management Engine Interface Problems.

Hello, good afternoon.

Im having a problem with my PC, practically new, the problem began a few weeks ago, and is that when you turn off the PC by Windows> Shut down, the system shuts off and the the screen
goes into power saving mode, but the PC stays on and stops reacting, the only way to turn off its by pushing the physical button on the PC and the same happend when i turn it on again, the only way to fix it its by turning off the power source and disconnecting
it from the power and reconnecting it and this way it turns on normally.

Searching about this problem I found that it could be caused by an Intel device called "Intel Management Engine Interface" which, when I saw it in "Device Management", i noticed
that I had an yellow admiration symbol And a message which says that the device can not be started (Code 10), i update the Driver manually which solved the problem for a while, the PC shut down properly and the Symbol disappeared, but the problem comes back
after a few days , I tried to install several versions of the Driver as well as disable this device but it seems that nothing solves it definitively.

Among the solutions I found online, is to install version 9.5 of the device, mentioned that this version solved that problem, i tried to download and install the version but apparently
the model of the motherboard does not support such version.

i also found in the event log this error "Intel(R) Management Engine Interface driver has failed to perform handshake with the Firmware (FWSTS0: 0x90000045, FWSTS1: 0x002F0040)"

I appreciate the attention.

Some of my specs are:

Intel i5 6600K @3.5 Ghz

Motherboard: Asus B150M-A (Bios Ver 0602) (Rev. 1.03)

GPU: Asus Dual Geforce 1060

Windows 10 Pro x64

Intel Managment Engine Interface Driver: 11.0.0.1166
