Why does Qsys / Platform Designer close when trying to open, save or save as? Is it just me?

Hi Anand,

Thanks for responding, sorry I've taken so long to reply myself.

As I said in the original question it doesn't matter if I launch Qsys from Prime with a project open or not so I didn't think your suggestions would help. Nonetheless I did try it but, sure enough, I still get the same problem. indeed, I can run qsys_edit.exe direct from C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\quartus\sopc_builder\bin, which starts up fine but if I try to Open or Save as, Qsys simply disappears without a trace (no warnings / errors reported).

Sharing my project wouldn't help as the issue is not related to a particular project and, in any case, I couldn't share the particular project I was looking at due to confidentiality.

I did try installing a Linux version and I can tell you that I did not encounter the same issue so it looks to be Windows related. As both systems I tried it on were running the same version of Windows 10 I could try installing on a Widows 7 VM to see what happens with that when I get a chance and will report back.

I assume I'm the only one reporting this problem so I guess it must be something to do with my setup but I can't imagine what it might be so any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards

Neal
