Wondering if anyone else has come across this yet…
I know Windows 10 v1709 (Fall Creators Update) only came out last week, but after upgrading my laptop the Intel Management Engine Interface driver would refuse to start. I tried a bunch of different versions and uninstall/reinstall multiple times in device manager without any success. It also seemed to break the Intel Smart Sound Technology device too, also with a Code 10, resulting in no audio and the Realtek audio not even showing up.
The laptop already had the latest firmware of the 11.6 branch, 11.6.29.3287, but I tried flashing over-top as well with the “-allowsv” parameter. I had to do this from DOS since from Windows I couldn’t access ME without the driver working. I also tried the “fpt -greset” without any difference.
I even tried a clean install of Windows v1709 and had the same issues. I had to re-install v1703 (Creators Update) instead to get it back to normal.
Here’s the output from MEInfo from v1703:

I think everything looks OK? Am I stuck for now until Dell/Intel release a new BIOS/firmware to support this new version of Windows 10?
