Hi Larry,
I don't observe any Quartus software hang issues while using Quartus 24.1 Standard Edition.
Here are troubleshooting steps that you may want to check:
1. Before you download and install the software, please check that your machine system met the minimum Hardware and Software Requirements. Ensure that your Operating System is supported.

2.Check that the disk space is sufficient for the installation of the Intel FPGA software.
3. If you are running antivirus software, try to temporarily disable the antivirus software during the Quartus Prime software download and installation process.
4. Try to disable all the software running behind in the background.
5. Install the software with Administrator privileges.
6. If install using .tar, try to re-download the Quartus .tar installation package and install again. Check that the installation files .tar is not corrupted by checking the checksum.
7. Try to download and auto install using the new Quartus installer.
8. Check your OS history update, e.g. to check if the issue happen after some specific Window update.
