I deem Intel AMT a huge security risk
So entered the config of it and set it to disabled.
Now having done this, the laptop reboots and works as usual EXCEPT the fan does not work >and the device gets really hot.
Then I wanted to check in BIOS config for any Fan settings to see, when I enter >"Configuration" submenu the biosmenu freezes until the laptop is powered off manually.
I tested it a few times, tested other settings that seemed to be able to have an impact >on that situation to no avail.
As soon as I turned ME/AMT back on the fan works again and the config menu in bios does >not freeze.
It has the latest bios and ME Firmware from the downloads page.
How can I disable ME without having the thing toast itself to death?
Does anyone of you have an idea how to fix this?
Do you know how to make AMT inaccessible if I cant turn it off?
This laptop has version 6 of AMT (latest on newer boards is 9 or 10), do you know if I can upgrade that to a newer version without needing to convince the vendor to include it in a biosupdate?
