Management Engine Drivers 2514.7.16.0

[GTX]

Hello, I downloaded the Management Engine Drivers updated on April 29th and the installation was successful.

However, there is something different from the previous version.

Previously, when installing the driver, one MEI driver (Intel(R) Management Engine Interface #1) was installed in the System Devices of Device Manager and three drivers (Intel(R) Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface, Intel(R) iCLS Client, Intel(R) Management Engine WMI Provider) were installed in the Software Components.

When I installed the 2514.7.16.0 driver today, the Intel(R) iCLS Client was removed.

There are only two, DAL and WMI. No matter how many times I try, it is the same.

I would like to ask if this is the intended behavior or a driver issue.

Hi GTX,

Thank you for reaching out to the Intel Community Forum. To assist us in investigating the issue, please provide the following details:

Since updating the driver, have you noticed any changes in system performance or functionality that might be related to the absence of the Intel(R) iCLS Client?

Have you tried reverting to a previous version of the driver to see if the Intel(R) iCLS Client reappears? What is the exact driver you're using before?

If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Archie D.

The driver version I was using was 2512.7.13.0. It was available for download on the website until yesterday, but it seems to have been removed now.

And I don't really know what the Management Engine Drivers do. Maybe Intel didn't explain the MEI Drivers properly. It doesn't matter.

The old driver reappears with iCLS. I reported the change in the driver, and if this was the intended result, I wouldn't ask anymore.

Hi GTX,

The changes you've noticed, such as the removal of the Intel(R) iCLS Client from the Software Components section, are likely part of an intended update rather than a driver issue. Software updates often include modifications to enhance performance, security, or compatibility, which can lead to changes in the installed components. If the installation was successful and your system is functioning properly, this change is likely intentional.

For more information, you can refer to this link: Intel TCS Client Driver - iCLS Client Not Supported by Intel Core 12th Generation and Newer Processors.

Additionally, if you need to download the customized Intel Management Engine (Intel® ME), you can find it on the Asrock website: Asrock Z590 Steel Legend Downloads.

It's important to note the differences between generic and customized drivers. Here are some articles that might be helpful:
