Hi, 

Perform the following steps, 

1. Visual check: Factory Default Switch and Jumper Settings, FPGA chip leads, LEDs status etc. 

2. To successfully use the USB-Blaster cable, disconnect it before power up the board. Once you power on the board, then reconnect the USB-Blaster cable. 

3. Open Quartus II Programmer 

4. Click Auto Detect(or else Check Add Device->select 10M50DAF484 ) 

5. Add .sof file 

6. Turn on Program/Configure option. 

7. Click Start. 

8. Check the nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, nCONFIG signal status.

Hi, 

Install the Intel FPGA Download Cable II since your screenshot showing Altera USB-blaster II unconfigured, Refer the following link,

Try using another USB-Blaster II download cable as well.

Well I have even the USB-Blaster (not the newer USB-Blaster II) running under Windows10. I just went to device manger, right click on the device, update driver, use driver on computer, point to the driver directory of the Quartus II Installation. That worked pretty well :-)
