ME FW Update Failed, please try again!

OptiPlex 5070 Small Form Factor

OptiPlex 5070 Small Form Factor

Every time I start my OptiPlex 5070, I get the message: ME FW Update failed, please try again.

At this point, Windows 11 will then boot successfully, without any further issues.

I have the Bios version 1.26.0

Anyone got solution?

I have Optiplex 7070.  I did clean Win 11 install using MS media.  No issue no error.  I did not install any Dell driver manually.  You can try a clean install on a test hard drive to see if the error goes away.

Try clear CMOs settings via motherboard jumper. Replace CMOs battery w a new one since the pc was originally released in 2019, now 5 years old.

If your desktop computer was produced before April 2020, the computer most likely has a jumper-based reset.

PS Desktop computers manufactured after April 2020 use the RTC Reset ability.

Note: Desktop computers released after April 2020 should have RTC Reset enabled by default.

For desktop computers that use RTC Reset, hold the power button for 30 seconds.

This thread may help.  Just remember as it mentions specific BIOS versions, your BIOS may be different.

Linked in that thread is something I ran across: <Link broken. DELL-Admin> The caveat is some say in other community forums that updating BIOS doesn't work.
