Quartus II Programmer crashes Win10

Hi,

unfortunately I encountered a problem with Quartus II Programmer on Windows 10.

The first programming works fine. However, if I restart Quartus Programmer or try to program a second time I get a BSOD.

Same if I disconnect the Hardware.

Fresh installation, all settings default.

Quartus II Programmer 64-Bit 15.0.0 Build 145 SJ Web Edition

BeMicro Max 10

USB Blaster Driver Version 2.12.0.0 usbblstr.inf 64Bit

Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit Build 10240

    Windows 10 is not officially supported yet.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I thought that someone else maybe had the same problem.

    I will raise a ticket.

    Quartus programmer simply doesn't work on windows 10. Nothing can be done with it until Altera releases a supported version.

    Temporal workaround:

    VM with Win7 and full Quartus 15.0 installation (stand-alone programmer version 12.0 does not support my device).

    Shared folder in which the output files go.

    Good idea, I'd probably do it with CentOS linux with programmer only because it takes less space on my overflowing disk.
