New ContributorCan't use USB Blaster on Windows 11 without disabling core isolation memory?
Thanks Frank. I successfully got the Terasic USB Blaster to work based on your advice. I had mistakenly installed version 20.1 when I thought I had installed the latest V23.1 std edition of quartus prime lite. Once I installed the latest version, I used the programmer to successfully program my version 17.0 image into the Cyclone V FPGA I am using. I can upgrade my project from 17.0 to V23.1 next. The main goal of this thread was to simply use the USB blaster on Windows 11. It works. The Terasic USB Blaster works with V23.1 std edition just fine without disabling core isolation memory. Here is the command I used to program my device: c:\intelFPGA_lite\23.1std\quartus\bin64\quartus_pgm.exe -c "USB-Blaster [USB-0]" output_files\chameleon_v2.cdf
Thanks again!

New ContributorI should note that I went into device manager under windows and updated the driver for the altera usb blaster device listed to point to the usb blaster folder under the quartus prime lite installation folder. That way it used the correct version of the drivers. As soon as I did that, windows recognized the device without an error.
