Everytime I open Windows explorer or right click a file, this error always shows "Intel Optane(tm) Memory Pinning. Unable to load DLL 'iaStorAfsServiceApi.dll'. The specified module could not be found (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007007l Windows Explorer)"

Hi @misha​ 

1. The latest Windows update to version 1903, corrupted Intel RST driver.
2. If you have Optane Memory enabled in your system, disable it first. If you don't have Optane Memory, continue from para.3
3. Click Win+X -> Apps and Features
4. Uninstall the the 'Intel Optane Pinning Explorer Extensions' and the Intel RST Driver.
5. Now you can install the latest Intel RST Driver: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28966/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver?product=55005

Hope this helps
