Intel Management Engine Interface versions

I have a XPS 8910 and when I run SupportAssist either locally or via the webpage it says I am up to date on all my drivers. I'm a bit perplexed about this particular driver though as online (in the downloads) it shows this version:

Version: 1914.12.0.1255 ,A04

Last Updated Date: 03 Oct 2019

 

And according to Device Manager I have:

1904.12.0.1208  dated 1/21/2019

 

It looks like the one online is newer but yet SA doesn't say there is an update?  Any ideas why?

 

Thanks

    I also have a XPS 8910 and my version of the Intel MEI driver in Device Manager is the same as yours. I do not use SupportAssist, I prefer to update drivers on my own so SA is disabled. I don't know how that version in Device Manager got installed perhaps from Windows version 1903 upgrade. My records indicates the last version I installed was 11.7.0.1054.

    I can't tell you why SA doesn't say there is an update. Since the importance of the newer version is only Recommended and not Urgent like the previous version I think I will stay with what I have now.

    By the way, I don't know if this is a typo, but the Dell webpage version now is A05 and the Last Updated Date is 08 Aug 2019.

    The Intel Chipset Device Software Driver listed by speedstep does not appear the same as the one listed for the XPS 8910 at dell.com/support or if you enter the Service Tag. To be safe, I would go to dell.com/support and enter your Service Tag and download the drivers you need from there.

    The driver is listed here which is where I posted the link from.

    Also note that INTEL has started to remove drivers so 9.6.0.1014

    and 10.1.0.1008  and 11.3 are no longer available for download.

    These versions of the F6 mass storage driver were deleted from INTEL Sept 13, 2019.

    Version 17 is recommended for newer systems.  There are conflicts with 1903 and older versions of RST.

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29007/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver?product=55005

    Systems running driver version 15.9.x, 16.0.x, 16.5.x, or 16.7.x should update to the latest version.
