      Hi Aiman , Ak6dn

      Thanks a lot for your help.

      Intel USB Blaster is working on windows 10 version 21H2 with Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 21.1 drivers.

      Older software version also working with 21.1 drivers , just replaced the old driver folder with 21.1 driver and it is started working fine.

      Thanks & Regards,

      Ramesh S.
