    So the installation of Quartus Prime Lite was uninstalled and then re-installed. I have attached two images to this post to give information about the installation. The first image was the for the Devices selected. I selected all the devices to be safe.

You may want to take a look at the following related KDB which explaining further regarding this problem.


Why is my USB Blaster II not detected by Quartus II on Windows?

Why does the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver installation fail on Windows* operating system?


Hope this answer your question.

    Thanks for the references.

    I was installing Quartus Prime Lite software which is free. I don't think a digital certificate is required. It wouldn't make any sense however it may be possible.
