Hi, I I will be as specific as I can. I have windows 10 Creator version 1709 Custom build. I have 32 Gigs of Memory My Windows is an Oem version store bought for system builders. I have a core I7 8th gen processor. I have a gigabyte z370 AORUS gaming 7 motherboard. I noticed that on a site called station drivers there is a new Firmware update for this month febuary for the Intel managment chipset. So I downloaded it and saved it to a slave drive not my c drive. I have the January update from gigabytes site in a flash of my bios to the latest flash. This however is a newer version I have checked both versions. I unsipped all of the files This is the info that I get.

1. Extract the firmware and rename the .bin file to ME.bin (to make it easier later on)
2. Extract the tool and go to Windows folder, copy ME.bin file alongside FWUpdLcl
3. Open a command prompt and type:

FWUpdLcl -f ME.bin -allowsv

4. Restart your computer
5. Run MEInfo and MEManuf to make sure everything is fine as mentioned at the first post
Well I have done this and this is the error that I get

Solution
I wouldn't worry about the Intel IME drivers, but there should be an actual Intel installer package vs flashing it the way you are for it.

Well I was wondering if you could tell me how to fix this message and install them the way that I'am I looked on intels website but I will look again. And I always thought the drivers were fine but there is a newer version of the firmware and that is the one I want.

I dowloaded this from intel ntel-SA-00086 Detection Tool It says that my system is patched and that I do not need it. So I guess I can mark this issue as closed.

Thank you so much!!

Update- I guess this is just a one time thing for the security bug that Microsoft found with there processors. And I do already have the updated bios flash for January 2018 for my gigabyte board.
