Here is what I’ve understood regarding drivers:
DCH → Windows 10 1709 (RS3) or newer
MSI → Windows 7 to Windows 10 1703 (RS2)
The OP has been updated to reflect this new understanding. I’m still not sure if there is also a Consumer/Corporate distinction.
In my case they are only installed in the driverstore, were not installed to the system drivers though.
Anyhow! I am happy with the old driver and without the utility and without the component drivers, my laptop is so fast and smooth now, no high CPU usage or problems in sleeping/waking up,
I hope this will help someone having the same problem as mine. My laptop is MSI GT83VR 7RF Titan SLI
I’m trying to flash the ME on my HP laptop (Ice Lake CPU). I’m currently on 13.0.21.1319 LP Consumer and with the v13.0 r2 tools and 13.0.32.1478_CON_LP_D_PRD_EXTR.bin I’m getting “Error 433: PMC partition is not in the Update Image.” message when using FWUpdLcl64.
No it is not, you can search standrad vs DCH, they are the same, same files except the way the files were packed,
Standard will be installed as a program,
DCH as a driver in the component drivers
But they are the same files. DCH will work only on newer versions of windows. And I think everyone should use DCH cause eventually Microsoft will release only DCH versions, so you can get to use to it now it is better
Read the OP on how to use FWUpdate v13
I assume FITc 7.1.20.1119 is known? It’s between the two FITc versions in the repository (v7.1.13.1088, v7.1.60.1191)…

Today I just updated the old Bios on my MSI Z97 MPower Max AC with UBU tool and now checking the firmware in the bios for IME Firmware it shows I have v9.1.37.1002 installed.I want to make sure I have the correct firmware to flash first…Update…Its installed and all is good…
Yes, it’s known. The v7.1.13 version must have been included as the last version which did not produce errors on some fairly old CPT SPI images. I don’t remember anymore though.
I just need that Intel MSA-LM v2019.14.0.1587 extracted, can anyone share that?
@plutomaniac
Hello! Please tell me Intel ME 9.1 1.5MB Firmware v9.1.40.1000 for X99 systems - is it Firmware from which release date?

Download the firmware, load it into ME Analyzer and check the date.
