Parts of it you want. The management engine does a lot of stuff and I don't think you can say all of it is good or bad. It would be nice if they would break it down area-by-area and give owners some controls to disable the unnecessary parts.


What is a thing it does that a user may want?


CPU health monitoring and fan speed control. It’s in the Intel QST which is part of the management engine.
