So finally procured a stick of optane and I've hit a snag. I'm not able to enable it, at all. I tried with both drivers, the iRST and OptaneMemory.exe. The standalone Optane driver seems to install fine, but upon reboot it shows me the "would you like to enable Optane" question, and then proceeds to do nothing at all when I hit accept. Manually running the app results in the same problem.
When trying with Rapid Storage, it's much more subtle a problem. It detects the Optane module fine in the lists of storage drives, but what it does not do is let me enable Optane support. The "enable" link is literally grayed out and it's the most frustrating thing ever since it gives absolutely no feedback on what the issue is. I've gone through every FAQ, manual, and forum thread I could find and did not come across a similar issue.
Please help! The only things I can think of that may be causing an issue are BitLocker (currently disabling it, it takes some time though), and perhaps Samsung Magician or Acronis TrueImage. I've tried nearly everything else!
The log OptaneMemoryUI.log shows the following:
