It is the .exe version.
I grabbed the ME-consumer_11.8.50.3425.zip and extracted it. Ran FWUpdLcl64.exe as admin, but nothing happens and I get an error log that says "Error 8716: Invalid usage"

Long story short, after a bit of back and forth, I have the latest firmware(1.70), latest management engine firmware(11.10.0.1287), and latest Asrock intel management system driver installed on windows 10.
The above ME (ME_consumer v11.8.50.3425 listed in Wardog's comment) comes back with "are you sure you want to downgrade your firmware? YES/NO" Should I be downgrading it?

I learned a lot from my system when I was trying to get it to play 4k. One thing I learned was actually it came today which came from NVIDIA themselves.
According to the minimum system requirements from CyberLink,
Ultra HD Blu-ray is supported only if a display is powered by Intel
Graphics. https://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=19144&prodId=1&prodVerId=1274
My Intel graphics 630 does play it, and is the only graphics card that will play it. All others will not even if they say they will. Make sure you have the latest Intel SGX PSW for Windows v1.9.105.42143 installed. Make sure in the bios the sgx is turned on, and there's another one to turn on I think it's the Intel runtime management something or another, I will have to put a new reply and go and check it. Will have to reboot to see it. And also read my last post before this one it tells you a lot. |

The 2 to make enabled are: Intel Virtualization Technology--Enabled
Software Guard Extensions (SGX)--Enabled That's it for you bios. I think I had to go down 1 in my bios for it to work. My Pioneer UHD Drive had software with it, I did installed it alone with Powerdvd 14. ASRock sent me a ME file that is what made the extensions turn on and get recognized by the Cyberlink Adviser. If you need more help let me know. Will be very glad to help you. Thanks.... |

From what I have read and experienced, my chipset, CPU, and GPU should all work just fine. Intel claims this, Nvidia claims this, and Cyberlink lists my GPU on their page.
Where do you see that ONLY intel discreet chips will allow 4k BluRay playback on PCs? That would be lawsuit material if it were true. There is no reason for users to be FORCED to only use some lousy discreet graphics chipset just to be able to play their purchased 4k BluRay content on a PC. This is *absurd*, and it is clearly an intentional choice by intel and/or microsoft to slow down the "threat" of piracy. Further, I see MANY examples of people with various Nvidia GPUs getting 4k BLuRay playback working fine. I know about intel virtulization stuff - thats already turned on to support my VMs. There are no SGX options in my x299 TaiChi BIOS. I bought this board, GPU, CPU because.... they are all documented to support 4k BluRay playback.

The link I sent you above, copy and paste it into your browser and this will tell you about what graphic cards are supported like Intel.

When I built out this system... I verified each component that I would need to playback 4k content. At that time, PowerDVD 17 Ultra was the recommended software to play 4k BluRay on a few drives, including the Pioneer internal drive I have. AT THAT TIME, there was no published limitation.... on which GPU brand or discreet chipset you would need to make this work.
This is outrageous and the questions one would need to have asked before making purchasing decisions are counter-intuitive. Never before would the question "if I build a 4k capable system (GPU, screen, CPU, chipset), will it be able to play games at 4k AND movies at 4k?" The very idea was absurd. Not anymore, apparently. I will find other software, then. I will not be limited by the incompetence of one vendor if I can avoid it.
