We are seeing a very similar issue on Windows with Quartus Prime Pro 25.1.1 Build 125 + Patch 1.03.

Compilation (Analysis & Synthesis) freezes reproducibly depending on the system time:

Before ~11 AM: compilation always completes normally.

After ~11 AM: the first compilation attempt of the day hangs indefinitely.

This happens even:

– immediately after reboot,

– on weekends,

– with all db/, qdb/, and temp folders deleted,

– using both GUI and quartus_sh --flow compile,

– with Platform Designer closed or open.

We confirmed that if we manually set the system clock back to the morning (e.g., 08:00), the same project compiles successfully again.

If we restore the real time → the freeze returns.

This looks very similar to the recent reports of unexpected freezes in various Quartus 24.x–25.x versions starting around mid‑January 2026.

Yes, that is the same problem. You must install the patch mentioned in the KDB article linked above, it should be 1.31 for Quartus 25.1.1. Not sure what patch 1.03 is but you can have both.
