    That link says 0xC6 is the latest but I have 0xCA which is later!
    You're absolutely right. Same here!
    Apparently there is a newer one, not yet available to the public, which only the OEMs have (since we both got it from hp)... just a thought, as I don't have another explanation.

    Thanks Dimitri,

    I will be checking out the blog you pointed to and I understand and agree with what you said, looks like I better stock up on the acetylsalicylic acid.

    Being a Gateway / now Acer machine I found this on Acer's site awhile back: Intel Security Vulnerabilities Regarding Intel® Management Engine (ME) It does have 'some' Gateway's listed but that's the same list I saw over a year ago, but I'll check some more and see if there are any fresher leads.

    When you said:
    Your system has a BIOS microcode version which is older than the one Microsoft has updated your system with. That's why Windows chose to run the Microsoft provided microcode. This microcode will be loaded at system boot and will be unloaded at shutdown.
    Does that mean my machine is 'somewhat' safe?

    HP issued a BIOS update for my laptop in January which I guess resulted in the very latest version

    Sorry, for the late answer Steve but being a little busy with work lately.
    Yes that's what I mean.
    Since I don't believe that ACER will provide an updated BIOS for your machine, keep updating your microcode by applying the latest MS update. This will ensure that you're at least as safe as any of us, regardless of the source of the microcode (i.e. PC vendor BIOS update or Microsoft update).

    I just received a new BIOS update from HP, dated 2-Mar-2020.
    It doesn't update the microcode version, but according to the release Notes: Provides HP Fan Control Optimization which improves fan noise experienced during typical system usage.

    Not a problem Dimitri, life has a way of putting things in perspective.

    Don't know either. Just the date has been changed in MUC for the downloads.
