Windows 10: Intel Optane(tm) Memory Pinning error

Every time I right-click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer, I get a notification error that says the following:

Intel Optane(tm) Memory Pinning
Unable to load DLL
'iaStorAfsServiceApi.dll': The specified
module could not be found
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007

I can still go through with the task in Explorer even with this annoying notification.

I am running Windows 10 Home on an Alienware M15.

I had no idea I had "Intel Optane Pinning Service Extension" installed; I figured it was a component of IRST that was causing this as the driver name was similar. But sure enough there is was, so it's uninstalled now. Thanks!

You're welcome.

I believe the Intel Optane Pinning Service Extension is a component of certain versions of the IRST.
