Quartus closing on its own

Quartus is closing on its own when I open a project. I have tried uninstalling and installing Quartus many times. But the problem persists. I have installed Quartus prime lite edition. version 21.1 for Windows.

My OS specifications:

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 21H2
OS build 22000.527

  • It sounds like a bad Quartus install. Do a full uninstall and reinstall. Maybe try a different location.

    Try deleting the db and incremental_db folders for your project. Then reopen to see if that fixes it.

    I deleted the db folder, there is no incremental_db folder. Still Quartus is closing as soon as I click the open project button. This is happening even before I can select any project to open.

      Are you still able to create a new project with the New Project Wizard? Did you install the .qdz file for the device family you are using?

        I have installed cyclone IV device .qdz file.

        Regarding creating new projects, I had created them in the many runs when I was uninstalling and installing Quartus. Now in the current installation I am not able to create projects as well. It is just stuck and showing not responding message when I try to create a new project.

    You can try older version of Quartus prime lite edition. I'm using ver. 20.1 and my OS is windows 11. It works fine for me.
