XPS 8700 Intel AMT Windows 10 driver issues?
Hey all,
I've had to leave Intel Management Engine Interface disabled for awhile now due to ongoing driver/compatibility issues in Windows 10.
I've tried re-installing several different Intel AMT driver versions now including DELL support recommended 11.0.0.1153.
After reboot the system just hangs on DELL loading screen for about 2min before finally loading desktop then upon checking device manager Intel MEI shows the below error:
The error is a code 10 (STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE).
Checking Event Viewer is full of warnings and errors from source MEIx64:
The Intel(R) Management Engine Interface is being reset.
Intel(R) Management Engine Interface driver has failed to perform handshake with the Firmware
My system will no longer resume from sleep either after hitting 'Esc' key just ends up rebooting which I'm pretty certain is also related...rather annoying to say the least having to always shutdown when not in use.
