Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Problem: HP Sure Start reports Intel Management Engine firmware corruption. Recovery targets version 12.0.96.2562, reaches approximately 50%, then the computer powers off, restarts after about 10 seconds, and repeats.

 

Troubleshooting already performed:

  • Tried Esc and F10; neither opens the startup menus.

  • Removed the CMOS coin-cell battery.

  • Held the power button for 60 seconds with the battery disconnected.

  • The recovery loop persists.

Requested service: Diagnose the Intel ME firmware recovery failure and determine whether an HP-supported firmware repair is possible before replacing the motherboard.
