Hi, when attempting to save or open a project quartus prime 21.1 lite edition crashes. It crashes in the moment the dialog box appear. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it doesn't work.

    At least on my machine Windows 11 this is caused by Microsoft OneDrive.

    Specifically when Microsoft OneDrive is set up to sync the "Desktop" folder. If I disable syncing of the desktop folder it works!

    Hope this helps somebody else.

I confirmed this was my issue as well. For those not sure how to configure OneDrive for this:

1) From File Explorer, right click on OneDrive in the Navigation Pane (left side of window where My Computer is)

2) From context menu select OneDrive->Settings

3) Click on the Backup tab and then Manage backup button

4) Click the Stop backup link for Desktop and then click Stop Backup

5) Close the window, setting is now applied, Quartus should be good. This worked for me with version 21.1.
