    Hi Prashant,

    I'll follow up internally once more to get an update. But in the meantime, here's what they've shared :

    For the NIOS V tools to function correctly, quartus_py.exe must be operational. We have not seen any issues with this executable in our regressions. The team suggests checking for any PYTHON* environment variables. To do this, run set in a cmd.exe shell to display all environment variables. If you find any PYTHON* entries, try removing them to see if that resolves the issue. You can remove a variable by running: "set name_of_variable="

    Let me if this helps.

    Regards,

    Divya
