Electronic – arduino – Unable to upload anything to Arduino Uno

arduinoarduino unodigital-communicationsserialserial-bus

Any time I try up upload a sketch to my Arduino, I get the following error message:

enter image description here

That "1 of 10" then repeats all 10 times, and ultimately fails. I know that this board works, as I am able to upload to it and the serial monitor loop-back test work fine on another computer.

I am using an Arduino Uno, plugged in via USB, and COM1 selected in the Arduino IDE. COM1 in my Windows device manager claims to be running fine:enter image description here

I am running Windows 10, and I am using this board I am out of ideas. Can anyone help me get uploads working?

Edit: OK, now I'm getting a new device on my device manager, but Windows can't install any drivers for it:enter image description here

I went to the Arduino help page for installing drivers, and found this: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoUno#install-the-board-drivers

I found the "arduino.inf" file exactly where that page said it would be, but if I try to pick a driver manually, I get this error from device manager when selecting the "drivers" folder containing "arduino.inf":

Edit 2: OK, had a breakthrough. Using Windows device manager, I right-clicked on my unknown USB serial device and was able to select "update drivers", "browse my computer for drivers", "let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", "Ports (COM & LPT)" and select the Arduino Uno.

Now COM3 shows up when I plug in the Arduino and disappears when I unplug it, and I get a different error message when uploading now:

I did it. I used the answer from here: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/55301/avrdude-ser-open-cant-set-com-state And installed the ch340 driver and I'm working now.
