I have a 3rd-gen Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon running Ubuntu 22.04. It has stock UEFI/BIOS version N14ET25W (1.03) from 2014-12-01 and ME Firmware Version 10.0.29.1000. I've had it for many years without issue.
But this year, on two separate dates, I've had errors when powering on: "Me FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed". Both times it eventually resolved after a few reboots.
My research shows this error is normally associated with a failed UEFI/BIOS firmware update. But I have never made any attempt to update my firmware on this device.
Ubuntu has a service called "fwupd" that can update firmware. But I've never asked it to do an update, and when I run this command, it shows no attempts to update my firmware nor any ability to do an upgrade:
Can anyone suggest a plausible explanation for why this "Me FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed" error ocurred - seemingly without any cause?
