The package provides the installation files for Panasonic Intel Management Engine Interface Driver version 1914.12.0.1254.

I have installed that version 11.6.0.1045, restarted my laptop and yellow mark is still there in Device Manager. Intel (R) Management Engine Interface driver has failed to perform handshake with the Firmware (FWSTS0: 0x1E000042, FWSTS1: 0x6600A106). The Intel (R) Management Engine Interface is being disabled. Intel (R) Management Engine Interface driver has become one of the major cause for shutdown related issues in windows laptops. To fix the incomeplete shutdown bug (Light stays on and screen goes black), one needs to downgrade to Intel (R) Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver to a lower version (From version 11 to 9 or 10).
