Workaround/Fix
To work around this problem in the Intel Quartus Prime Pro version 19.4 and later, follow the steps below:
1) Zip up all files in $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/bin64/jre64 to keep a backup of the OpenJVM 1.8 which ships with the Quartus Prime Pro software
2) Remove all the files after zipping them (you can leave the zip file in the folder)
3) Download an Oracle®1.8 JRE Java SE Development Kit 8u212 compressed file (.tar.gz) which can be found here:
