Uninstalling or disabling Intel Optane Memory and Storage Manager V18.1.1026.0

[steve_h_1919]

The following article discusses Optane memory.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05591811

However, the article appears to be for an outdated version of the Intel software.  

I did not purchase an Optane drive when I bought the laptop. 

How do I SAFELY uninstall Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management V18.1.1026.0?

How do I disable the Intel Optane software?

The above version does not have any "Disable" function or button.

I believe the Intel software is interfering with the 2nd SSD I installed.

There does not appear to be a way to disable the Optane in the BIOS, either.

Windows 11 (21H2), BIOS F.11 Everything is up-to-date according to HP and Microsoft.

Thanks.

Why you need to disable it ? It does not make any sense at all !

The second SSD is a Samsung 980Pro 1TB.

This SSD has a companion Samsung Magician.

Samsung Magician V 7.0.1 is reporting that there is a conflict with Intel Corporation 18.6.1.1016.

The Intel Driver is related to Intel RST VMD Managed Controller 90AB in Device manager under Storage Controllers.

To resolve the Samsung and Intel conflict I believe I need to replace the Intel Storage controller in Device manager.

I would replace the Intel RST with the standard Microsoft NVMe driver.

See Another post on the subject by myself...

If I Uninstall or disable the Intel Optane, since I never had Optane, replacing the RST with the Microsoft driver should be easy and resolve the conflict, right?

Thanks,
