Intel Management Engine Interface Driver for Windows
Intel Management Engine Interface Chipset driver
Intel Management Engine Interface is the chipset-side driver Windows uses to talk to Intel platform firmware on many desktop and notebook motherboards.
Management Engine Interface driver overview
This package is useful after a clean Windows installation, a Device Manager warning under System devices, or a motherboard support update where Intel MEI is required before management and power features behave correctly.
When this package helps
- Device Manager shows an unknown PCI or System device after Windows setup.
- A motherboard vendor recommends installing Intel ME before BIOS or chipset utilities.
- Sleep, power management, or firmware communication features are unreliable.
Supported Windows versions
Windows 11 / 10
Before installing
- Install the main chipset INF package first when the motherboard vendor provides one.
- Use Device Manager to import CAB drivers if Windows does not expose a normal setup wizard.
- Restart Windows before judging whether the unknown device is fixed.
