Arduino Due setup

When uploading 'Blink" to the Due the uploading process is in the upload state indefinitely. The following message results:

processing.app.debug.RunnerException

The port always defaults to com 12 programming port matter what the USB port is. When uploading a sketch it gets hung in the uploading processing. For the board the only selection is com 12 programming port. From Win 10 Device Manager Arduino Due Programming Port was removed. From the IDE Boards Manager Arduino SAM Boards (32 bits) was removed and installed. If the usb cable is connected to the native USB port an exclamation symbol is on Arduino Due in Devices and Printers.

I'm not sure whats going on. Help is appreciated.

Hi,

Have you been able to load the Due before this, or is this from your first attempt?
Do you have the USB cable plugged into the correct USB socket on the DUE?
Have you selected Due in the Tools/Board...
