[Dometienne]

 causes my system to slow down?

 Hello, I work on a HP Probook,with SSD, and I would like to know if there is a risk by disabling the system device : Intel management engine Interface, because I work independently and this application causes my system slow down ?

The ME does not cause your system to slow down.  You have some other issue.

Hello Alhill, you didn't answer my question . I asked if i could disable Intel management engine interface without incurring any issue .

Hello Dometienne,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

Disabling the Intel Management Engine (IME) can be done in different ways depending on the system configuration and the manufacturer's implementation. The process can also be complex and can potentially impact the functionality of some hardware and software components.

Here are some general steps to disable IME, however it's important to note that the exact process may vary depending on your system:

1. Go to Device Manager.
2. Under System Devices, right click Intel Management Engine and click Disable Device.

You may also check the system documentation provided by the HP, as they may have specific instructions on how to disable IME. Kindly Contact HP for further assistance. 

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

Best regards,
