As on my previous post the usb c don't work again.
On that time I solved upgrading the bios and the chipset driver.
This time I already updated the Bios to version F.42 Rev.A and i also updated the Driver Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) to version 2108.100.0.1053 Rev.E . I don't know if it is the correct chipset driver.
What can I do?
