    Hi Wolfgang,

    I did finally figure out what the issue was and for those that also run into this issue, here is the below issue/solution.

What was missing was the Windows Service, ie the "Altera JTAG Server" This is a windows service that uses the following executable - "C:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe".

    The version number ie "\13.0sp1" changes to suit the actual version used in your system.

    If this services is not running then the Quartus Software does not see the hardware.

    Neil.
