Hi Vicky,

I have updated to Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 with service patch 1. This seems to be the latest release for Windows. I am able to build the project after updating all IP, and it looks like the QoR has improved from 16.0. However the behavior of "Compile Design" is the same. It seems that Quartus is either not keeping track of changes to source files, or it doesn't use this information to decide whether to pop up the "already run successfully" dialog. I have not tried creating a new project from scratch. At the moment this is just a minor annoyance because I can always answer "Yes" to the dialog and get a clean build.

Gabor
