Windows 10 driver support for USB Blaster ?

In reviewing the drivers download page it appears there are NO drivers for Windows 10 for the USB based Blaster programmer cables. Is this really true ?

Hi,

Right click on "unknown device"->UPdate Driver Software->Browser to the Quartus installation directory ("C:\intelFPGA\17.0\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster")->click next.

If it does not solve the problem

try previous post by garypace.

Or

Reinstall the Quartus tool.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Hi Anand-

Thanks for replying. The connection does not show up as "unkown device". Instead it shows up as a fully configured "USB Serial Port (COM4)". Could this be a part of the problem? Windows does not change the driver after:

UPdate Driver Software->Browser to the Quartus installation directory ("C:\intelFPGA\17.0\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster")->click next.

Thanks,
