I am running windows 10 with an Intel Optane+932GBHDD drive. It used to work fine but now I am at 100% disk usage most of the time and any application that uses the disk just drags. All the disk checking utilities say everything is A-OK. But they are looking at the Optane front end. I am not allowed to defrag the hard drive because the operating system things I have a terrebyte of SSD which I don't. Can this situation be fixed?

Backup your system.
Possible the drive is failing or an issue with the drivers as there were a number of changes to how Optane memory was managed (Optane Memory Manager then RST Driver).
Backup your system.
Follow the Intel troubleshooting steps located here:
Troubleshooting Guide for Intel® Optane™ Memory https://www.intel.ca/content/www/ca/en/support/articles/000055140/memory-and-storage.html
Backup your system.

As stated in comment. NTFS (the file system underlying windows) NEEDS to be overprovisioned to function some kind of normally.
The fix seems quite simple? Delete some junk or transfer it to another drive.
