I did find this link that is oddly similar, but it was for Quartus 16.1 and the fix did not work. And no mention of it only happening on certain versions of Windows.
Why does the Quartus Prime software hang at "The Fitter is using Advanced Physical Optimization"?
I had checked the previous internal message based on the KDB link. This is not a bug but configuration problem so wouldn't be fixed. Please follow the workaround stated in the KDB

I'm afraid, as I mentioned, I already tried limiting the number of processors and it does not work.
I'm sure alot of people use Quartus on Windows 10 Pro, but perhaps not so many have a 64 core processor. I assume it must have something to do with that. But it seems to me if Quartus cannot handle more than a certain number of processors, it should automatically limit itself as opposed to requiring the user to do so.

Hello ShengN_altera ,
I've attached a small project that does nothing but blink a few LED's. Whole thing compiles in under 90 seconds on my old machine. Currently stalled at the "Advanced Optimization" stage after 2 hours on new one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
