Many Windows 10 users are complaining about Intel Optane memory pinning error after recent windows 1903 update. Although Intel Optane memory was here for increasing responsiveness of windows 10 system by tracking your usage of files,documents and apps, but somehow it is leading to error message like “Intel Optane(tm) Memory Pinning : can not load the file DLL ´iaStorAfsServiceApi.dll´ : Can not find the specified module.

Thank you. It worked perfect.
Informational steps were easy to follow and the process was quick. Thanks for such good, helpful basic information!!!
The best long-term solution; switch to Linux!
I am a DBA (database Administrator) and full-stack web developer and I have been on Linux for some years. There are alternatives to just about anything Microsoft for Linux users and in a lot of cases, the Linux alternative is better than the Microsoft version.
Since Microsoft SQL Server now runs on Linux, I have absolutely no use for Windows.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Yes…this worked as advised. Thanks.

Hi Thank you for this post it’s been driving me nuts. Incidentally my pc has been running like a bag of old spanners since the latest update so is there anything else I need to check. It’s barely a year old yet struggles to play a facebook video now. Half the time it sounds like it’s majorly busy and there isn’t anything open. And it’s driving me insane!
Helped me 🙂 Thanks
