SetupOptaneMemory.exe Won't Install

[DGrov1]

Hello,

Just built a new system with 32Gb Optane memory added to mother board. When running the SetupOptaneMemory.exe it shows the following error: UNSUPPORTED CHIPSET

Steps I've tried:

-Got the latest drives via Intel Driver & Support Assistant

-Intel SSD Toolbox is seeing the Optane card in the motherboard with the correct size. It say my motherboard can support Optane but the ENABLE button is grayed out.

-Followed all steps for Optane memory setup for the motherboard manufacturer and have confirmed all steps several times.

-100% new installation of Windows 10, nothing installed at all.

-Confirmed this chipset is supported.

Error from IntelOptaneMemory.log file:

Josh B! We are on to something here!

When I look at my BIOS is says it's set to UEFI (and has LEGACY grayed out).

But the option for UEFI is grayed out in the bios boot settings.

I'll ping the MSI board with this new info. You found the problem, now I gotta sort it on the MSI side. =)

Thanks, have a good weekend.
