Questa not working even after generating LM_License_File and setting environmental variable

The Questa Intel FPGA Starter Edition suddenly closes on opening even though after generating LM LICENSE file and placing it in its respective locations and also setting the environment variable.

The content in the native link simulation file is given below:

Info: Start Native link Simulation process
Info: Native Link has detected VHDL design -- VHDL simulation models will be used

========= EDA Simulation Settings =====================

Sim Mode : RTL
Family : max10
Quartus root : c:/intelfpga_lite/22.1std/quartus/bin64/
Quartus sim root : c:/intelfpga_lite/22.1std/quartus/eda/sim_lib
Simulation Tool : questa intel fpga
Simulation Language : vhdl
Version : 93
Simulation Mode : GUI
Sim Output File :
Sim SDF file :
Sim dir : simulation\questa

=======================================================

Info: Starting NativeLink simulation with Questa Intel FPGA software
Sourced NativeLink script c:/intelfpga_lite/22.1std/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink/modelsim.tcl
Warning: File Traffic_M_run_msim_rtl_vhdl.do already exists - backing up current file as Traffic_M_run_msim_rtl_vhdl.do.bak11
Info: Spawning Questa Intel FPGA Simulation software
Info: NativeLink simulation flow was successful

---------------------------------------------------------------

On giving RTL simulation, the below given was shown:

Info (22036): Successfully launched NativeLink simulation (quartus_sh -t "c:/intelfpga_lite/22.1std/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink/qnativesim.tcl" --rtl_sim "Traffic_M" "Traffic_M")
Info (22036): For messages from NativeLink execution see the NativeLink log file C:/MVB_project_codes/Traffic_M/Traffic_M_nativelink_simulation.rpt

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB: no error is shown as I give RTL simulation and still VSIM is not opening. I could not rectify because no error is popping on the screen

Help to resolve this issue

Thank you

    I dont understand, as you run the simulation via nativelink, the vsim command is not working? or the questa gui is not even launched?
