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.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,  The Intel Management Engine (ME), also known as the Intel Manageability Engine, is an autonomous subsystem that has been incorporated in virtually all of Intel's processor chipsets.
