Dell XPS 8700 A11 BIOS Update
Hey there, so I was updating my BIOS from A10 to A11 yesterday within Windows 10 and it had managed to finish the A10 to A11 update, but then went on to do the second part of the update which I was not expecting. Said something about updating the ME but it went half way I believe and popped up an error message saying "Failed to update ME..." or something along the lines of that.
I still rebooted and everything still works fine. Tried the run the BIOS update again just to at least retry the second part of the update or firmware upgrade but now it just shows A11.
Can someone tell me what the second firmware update is/was supposed to be and how I can go about it? Or if someone came across the same thing and how they resolved it?
Thanks a bunch!

Same issue here... still trying to research if its OK to leave it there and forget about it, or need to fix something and get this update completed. If anyone knows the answer/solution, it would be helpful to post here.

I've had the same issue, the BIOS gets updated but the Intel ME firmware doesn't.
You can fix this by flashing the bios from a usb drive, this way the Intel ME FW gets flashed aswell:
