Updated Intel Management Engine Firmware v 16.1.40.2765 in Gigabyte DS3H AX Rev1.2 MB with Intel i5 13500
My assembled Desktop Specs::;

Processor : Intel i5 13500 Raptor S series with microcode 0x3A
CPUID : B06F2
Platform ID : 07
Graphics card: Gigabyte RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6
SSD : Crucial 500GB nvme 1.4
Ram : 64GB ddr5 5600mhz
PSU : Msi 650W bronze
OS version : Windows 11 Professional build no 25H2_26200.7922P
On 5th December 2025, I updated Intel Management Engine Firmware v 16.1.40.2765 on top of 16.1.35.2557
Also, I updated the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver v2552.8.10.0 WHQL
I have taken a high risk of updating the latest firmware because Intel identified the vulnerabilities in the management engine.
I am not recommending users update without consulting the desktop manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer support team. Ask your system manufacturers for the released new ME firmware. Different types of firmware are available and depend upon the intel processor generation and the respective SKUs only.
This Intel Management Engine firmware flashed to the Intel processors and will be lifelong. Future firmware updates will only be installed if existing firmware is not corrupted or modified.
Intel CSME 14.0.2.0015 version can be downloaded
