    Thank you. I will resort to buying Blaster II cables if I must. But is there a similar certificate fix for the USB Blaster Cables? I already purchased two USB Blaster for $600. The current drivers that are causing the problem came from the Quartus Programmer 20.1.1.720 downloaded last week. Does this release contain the most up to date drivers?

    Unfortunately, your first link does not have the driver for download on that page, just instructions for installing it. You still have to download the full Quartus to get the driver, which is weird.
