Arduino IDE not founding right COM

[riar]

Hello, i was just doing some stuff with my new breadboard and all that, it works! But when i tried some code to blink the led lamp i have, it says it cant find any device on COM1 and COM1 is the only one i have according to device manager. Really weird.
Here is the error message:

Sketch uses 52248 bytes (19%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.
Global variables use 6744 bytes (20%) of dynamic memory, leaving 26024 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 32768 bytes.
No device found on COM1

What board are you using. What board did you select in the board/com dropdown. It looks like the following and what com did you select in that same dropdown

I am using the Uno r4 wifi powered by cable from my pc. I chose arduino uno r4 wifi in dropdown.

And what port?

I'm not familiar with your board. My question is if COM1 disappears from Windows device manager when you disconnect the board? If not, it's not the Uno R4 WiFi.

Can try that thanks

I had similar problems with finding the right COM.
My solution was:

• unplug the Arduino
• open the device manager
• replug the Arduino
  now a new line should pop up in the device manager with the COM number of your Arduino.
