i fixed it by just just renaming the program file  adding .exe to it .now it opens so i can disable and remove the optane bought a Crucual p3 plus pci  4.0 nvme m.2 ssd much cheaper seeing i will just get pci 3 speed anyway . was driving me crazy thanks

That's great news.

Glad you figured out how to get the program to work so you could disable the Optane memory.

i just opened up my pc and found it has 2nd m2 slot for ssd . do i even need to disable the optane and remove the card out of the m2 slot for that drive ? just add the nvme ssd  4TB to the 2nd m2 slot ?

If your PC has two NVMe SSD slots, there would be no need to do anything with the Intel Optane memory, because that is accelerating the hard drive.

thank you for your help glad i have it solved now

Anytime.

I think im taking it out anyway when looking through the optane RST app they announced a bulletin last May that optane is at end of life . thats probably when it quit working so its outdated only 1MB/S speed they called that fast in 2019 when i got my my pc from HP that compared to 3500MB/s

I never really understood the purpose of Intel Optane.

I understand that it accelerates a mechanical hard drive, but if the PC supports Optane, then it supports a NVMe SSD, which means you can use a NVMe SSD as the boot drive and use the hard drive for additional storage.

If I had a desktop or notebook PC, and it had Intel Optane memory, the first thing I would do would be to remove the Optane memory and install a NVMe SSD.

There are actually NVMe SSD's with integrated Intel Optane memory.

They are very expensive and when one fails, most folks just replace it with a standard NVMe SSD.

I don't believe that HP installs those drives anymore in their PC's.

can i ask you 2 last questions? was wondering if i take the optane out on that hard drive :C is the one with my operating system and BIOS would my pc start up really slow with out the optane ? would adding the nvme ssd to my 2nd M2 slot would it disable any sata cables on my other 2 hard drives ? asking because i dont want slower boot times and putting windows 11 on my other drives . i think it would be easier
