Intel ME Firmware 8.1.65.1586 (1,5Mo)
I do not know where to put that on the forums threads, i guess it is hardware (motherboard) matter.
I would like to share a tool for updating the Intel ME Firmware version that does appears in the Asus motherboard UEFI Bios, in the General tab.
It's been a while this 1,5Mb firmware hasn't been updated and this is an opportunity to do it very easily.
This, with the MEtool.exe from Asus using the "Intel Firmware Update Utility" v8.1.40.1456 (FWUpdLcl64.exe) in a Windows environment (not in DoS!) for your convenience.
I've packaged in the attached file, the tool as Intel ME 8.1.65.1586 [1.5Mb] - MEtool_FW.zip, converted inside as "Data.BIN" ("ME8_1.5M_Production.bin" from July 27, 2015)
All you'll have to do to update the Intel ME firmware is to launch as Admin the MEtool.exe inside the folder while you're on Desktop and reboot.
You can check whenever in the Bios setting too, the new version that appear.
