So when I'm in the pin planner this is what I see.

Anything in the "Currently selected hardware" pop-up?

If not, Windows did not recognize the USB blaster. Go into Device Manager, delete the unknown device and try having it auto detect again (unplug and replug). If that doesn't work, you may need to manually install the driver.

    I think you have found the issue. When looking at Devices on my PC it states 'USB-Blaster, Driver is unavailable'

    I need to search for a driver.

      The driver is included in your Quartus installation and was an option to install when you installed Quartus.

        This is strange since I have the drivers where you said they would be.
