I would suggest to download and re-install the ModelSim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition.

Please double check that the ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition Software Requirements are met before installation. Please refer to the Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing:

Do let us know if the issue still persists.
