"Please install or update Intel ME driver version"

Jstagzsr · November 26, 2020

Downloaded and tried to open the "MSI gaming app". When it opens it stops and gives me an error that says "Please install or update Intel ME driver version"..

Did a little research and found out that intel ME is some managment system thats always running even when your PC is off.. Ive never heard of it before. And theres a driver from Intel for windows ME but its for "6th, 7th, 8th gen intel processors apparently and from early 2019... thats coming up on 2 years old for the only driver i found.. and not for my cpu (9900k)...

I'm at a brick wall i hit while trying to figure this out... so naturally, here i am on LTT again hoping someone knows wtf is going on. lol. All i wanted was to quickly tinker with this new MSI gaming app thing i just found out about. HELP!!!

TIA.

Edit:
According to the intel tool that scans your computer, Everything is up to date...... now im extra lost.
