No, Component Instantiation tab is in Pro, not Standard, so that suggestion won't help you.

I have never seen it take hours to just open a .qsys file. The compilation times you mention do not seem out of the ordinary to me for a large design, but just opening the file should at most only take a minute or two (it's basically just an XML script). Any useful messages appear when opening the file that might shed light on what it's getting stuck on? Are all of your files on a local drive or are you accessing any files, like IP files or custom component designs, over a network?

Any possibility of trying with a different version of Quartus? 22.1 is the latest version of Standard.
