How do you disable it? In the BIOS? Is it enabled by default?



I'm running Windows and I just disabled the service. There are a couple of them, one is Local Management Service and the other is User Notification Service.


ME is a separate chip running alongside main CPU. You can't disable it via Windows services :)

I recommend Platform Embedded Security Technology Revealed book [0] from designers and creators of ME for further information.

I stand corrected :)
