I planned to get rid of the optane memory and use the hdd as storage. My PC is a Lenovo desktop.</P> <P>Once I had my Windows running on the ssd, I disabled the Optane memory in Intel Rapid Storage app and also replaced the Intel SATA RAID controller driver with Microsoft storage spaces controller (which was a mistake). Now Windows doesn't boot even if the Optane and hdd aren't plugged in. Changing the SATA controller in BIOS from RAID to AHCI does nothing. How do I get Windows running again?</P> Wed, 02 Dec 2020 10:38:24 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Windows-10-doesn-t-boot-after-disabling-optane/m-p/1233449#M7127 DesktopUser 2020-12-02T10:38:24Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Windows-10-doesn-t-boot-after-disabling-optane/m-p/1233481#M7128 <P>Problem solved; I reset windows from the troubleshoot menu.
