USB-Blaster for Windows 11

Hello all I am having problem installing USB-Blaster in DE0 for Windows 11. It cannot find the driver in the specified directory. Is there any way to run this on Windows 11? Thanks for your help ...

    Intel/Altera's official statement is Quartus software is not yet supported on Windows 11, so don't expect it to work.

(********************* Solved *********************)

Hi,

I have done similar to what was reported by "Roger36" and did not work at the beginning.

Then, I put the drivers into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory (See attached).

Do not recall if I have rebooted though.

Working fine for me now, verified with for Quartus 18.1 and 22.1.

- Downloaded USB Blaster driver for Windows 10 from

"File:Usb blaster q16.1.zip - Terasic Wiki"

- In device manage, update the driver in "Device Manager" as per "Roger36" for USB Blaster.

- Put the files into the directory as reported before, See image attached for the file names.

Wish you all the best.
