sof file not updated

Hello everyone,

I have a custom pcb board with MAX 10 fpga inside. I tried to include basic nios program using hello world template into the system and compile the design. The compilation was done successfully, but the sof file was not updated. It seems to happen whenever I include the nios program into the system, because when I tried to compile the design without the nios program the sof file seems to be updated just fine. For information, I used Quartus Prime Lite Edition as my software.

Any reason as to why this might happen?
