It's up to you whether or not you trust this archive or not, but there is an archive of various ME firmware being kept here: http://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Intel-Management-Engine-Drivers-Firmware-amp-System-Tools.html and a more comprehensive archive here: http://www.win-raid.com/t832f39-Intel-Engine-Firmware-Repositories.html You might be able to update your Intel ME firmware using one of the files found there. But you'd probably want to wait until a firmware with at least an April 2017 release date or newer is available; not all of them have one yet (certainly not for any of the machines that I run). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
