Disabled Optane Memory to boost performance, how to enable?

[CKramer]

My HP Envy laptop was running sluggish after Windows 11 update so if was suggested to update all components. When I went to look at Optane memory, it suggested disabling and enabling to boost performance. I did but when I went to enable again, it said it would erase all data on my optane memory.
 
Will I be losing any all data on my SSD drive in the laptop?  I want to avoid doing anything wrong.
 
Thank you for the support

If you properly disabled the Optane Memory cache, it will not contain any important data (all file and file system data will have been flushed to the SATA drive). Thus, you do not need to worry about this warning.

Thank you so much for the response. I disabled it in the Intel program app in my Microsoft library on the computer.

Hello, CKramer.

That is perfect.

You will not have any problems, as n_scott_pearson mentioned, no data should be left in the Optane Memory by now, so erasing it is just part of the procedure.

Whether you are using Intel Optane Memory or not, it is always recommended to perform regular backups in case something unpredictable happens, just in case.

If further assistance is required, please let me know, and I will follow up on October 27th before closing the thread.
