Communication Controller Driver — What Is Pci Simple

If you’ve ever opened your Windows Device Manager and seen a yellow exclamation mark next to a device labeled you aren't alone.

| Problem | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | | You downloaded the wrong MEI version. Get it from your motherboard vendor, not Intel's generic site. | | Device still missing after chipset driver install | Reboot twice. Some MEI firmware requires a cold boot (shutdown, unplug power for 30 seconds). | | Code 10 (device cannot start) | BIOS setting: Enable "Intel Management Engine" or "AMT" in BIOS (disabled on some custom PCs). | | Linux equivalent | Run lspci -v . Device likely listed as "Communication controller". Kernel module: mei_me for Intel. |
