Hi amarb,

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

I understand that you are not able to setup the Intel® Optane™ Memory because the application doesn’t launch, right?

Considering the fact that you are using a laptop, my first recommendation is to contact the manufacturer to make sure if your system is indeed compatible with the Intel® Optane™ Memory. If it’s not compatible, then you won’t be able to setup the module even though the application installs successfully.

On the other hand, if the Intel® Optane™ Application cannot be installed, I recommend you to try using the Intel® RST Application instead. Both applications include the required drivers for the module and both can be used to setup the module.

You can find them below:

• Intel® Optane™ Application: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28401/Intel-Optane-Memory-User-Interface-and-Driver-for-System-Acceleration-for-Intel-7th-8th-Gen-Platforms
• Intel® RST Application: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28400/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver-for-Intel-7th-8th-Generation-Platforms

Additionally, could you please confirm if the application doesn’t open when you are trying to install it, or if on the other hand, you can install it but then you cannot open it to start using it?

I will be waiting for your response.

Have a nice day.
