NIOS II 20.1 Command Shell Crashing

[SK_VA]

Hi,

Recently I installed Quartus 20.1 in my system. Even though the GUI is working properly, the command shell crashes always. When I try to open Command shell a black screen blinks and goes off.

Please help to resolve.

Hi Eric,

NIOS II command shell is working for me without the patch.

Please let me know what this patch is for?

If you have problem in project build, you may download the patch.

It is for Windows 10 build 1903 and later.
