Windows 10: IntelOptane TM memory pinning

Since Windows 10 was recently updated, I keep getting an error message about IntelOptane memory pinning. Unable to load Dll iaStorAfsserviceApi.dll What is this and is it important please?

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.

 

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
