Disabling Intel Optane memory CAUTION: After disabling Intel Optane memory, do not uninstall the driver for Intel Rapid Storage Technology as it will result in a blue screen error. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology user interface can be removed without uninstalling the driver. NOTE: Disabling Intel Optane memory is required before removing the SATA storage device accelerated by the Intel Optane memory module from the computer. 1 On the taskbar, click the search box, and then type Intel Rapid Storage Technology. 2 Click Intel Rapid Storage Technology. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology window is displayed. 3 On the Intel Optane memory tab, click Disable to disable the Intel Optane memory. NOTE: For computers in which Intel Optane memory acts as a primary storage, do not disable the Intel Optane memory. The Disable option will be grayed out. 4 Click Yes if you accept the warning. The disabling progress is displayed. 5 Click Reboot to complete disabling your Intel Optane memory and restart your computer. Troubleshooting 75
