Cannot disable Intel Optane

[RNels14]

I wish to disable Intel optane so I can use it on another of my drives instead. However I am unable to do so.

I open the intel optane application via the system tray, go to setup and click disable at this point the application closes. Re-opening the application shows has not disabled it. I also notice within the application the statistics tab shows "intel optane service is not running".

I already tried running the setup again and selecting the repair option but this has not helped. Any help would be appreciated.

Additionally starting the Intel Optane memory service manually fixes the statistics tab, but clicking disable still doesn't work and crashes the Intel Optane memory service.

I'm on windows 10, on a clean install. The currently chosen accelerated drive is my C drive (120gb ssd)
