How do I disable Optane on an Acer Nitro ANS 17-52

Yes, I know this question has been asked before. I've tried the other answers and they don't work. It's Windows 11, Nitro ANS 17-52. When I get to the Main page in the BIOS, Ctl-S does nothing. I can't change the SATA mode; in fact, I can't change anything on that page at all.

• Determines how STAT controller(s) operate.
• By default, this item is hidden. Visible only after the user presses "Ctrl+S" (if supported) in this menu 
• The default value is [Optane with RAID].

Why do you want to change this setting?

@StevenGen

Why would you want to keep RST ?
Maybe that's a better question,  considering the computer contains neither Optane nor has it multiple RAID disks.
Doesn't that enabled RST setting seem incorrect and stupid ?

I'm wondering why you slghted my post, and why you challenge both znmeb and me with such a question.
I think it's rude.

...and besides that,
what has SATA RST-mode to do with the (PCIe) boot SSD anyway?
PCIe is separate from SATA.
Why does that SATA RST-mode have any effect on it?
I'll tell you what I think.

I suspect RST's only real purpose is to allow Intel's creepy backdoor "Management Engine" to access your disk via network while your computer power is turned off.

I already said that in the forum thread I linked, directly above your post.  That link you didn't bother clicking.

...and besides that,

znmeb already said he discovered ctrl-S, but it did nothing.
didn't you read that, @StevenGen ?

Hey prunemaster FIRST read what I've written as I haven’t mentioned you at all and whatever you said is irrelevant in my answer! I didn’t say or mention RST or to keep it” or “Why would you want to keep RST?”blah blah that you keep going on about!

And this nonsense is just ridiculous for you to go on with…”I'm wondering why you slghted my post, and why you challenge both znmeb and me with such a question. I think it's rude”

NOTE: prunemaster, I was definitely NOT RUDE and I NEVER tried to sight your post, I don’t do that as I’m NOT a rude person!

Read my answer properly and the initial question properly also, as I asked znmeb a legitimate and simple question and it has nothing to do with you…and I quote…"Why do you want to change this setting? Do you want to dual boot e.g. Win-10 and Ubuntu?...Also and after that. I quoted the AN517-52’s SG BIOS at Main settings remarks for SATA Mode! Also the "Optane with RAID" is the default settings in the BIOS for this laptop, that is all that I was trying to convey and pass onto znmeb!
