SO i decided to update via HP support Assistant and found this critical update "Intel Management Engine Interface". Upon research, i learnt it causes problems and Intel identified various security holes in it in 2017. My Question is, Do i need it? Why was it included in the update? What's its use? Intel hasn't vividly explained it's workings so i guess maybe if anyone has an idea on it?
Any help will be appreciated.
