As said in the title whenever and whatever program I try to upload on my Arduino UNO board it always takes 10 minutes to upload and then gives me error. PORT and Board are correct, I put Show verbose when uploading and here is what it says with the Blink Program:
Sketch uses 932 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

avrdude done. Thank you.
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
I've thought it could be the programmer since I had recently burned the bootloader of another ATMEGA328P and I had to change the programmer to do that so if it is in the wrong programmer option it's just a mistake and it wasn't working with any programmer
Hi @pietrofarag. Please try this experiment and then report back with the results:
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".
Now please reply here on the forum thread with the answer to the following question:
Did you see the "L" LED blink multiple times quickly immediately after you released the "RESET" button?
The Tools > Programmer menu selection is only used when you are doing Tools > Burn Bootloader or "Upload Using Programmer". When you're doing a standard "Upload", the Tools > Programmer menu selection is completely ignored. So it makes no difference at all what you have selected from the Tools > Programmer menu.
Even though the error messages contain the term "programmer", these error messages are not referring to the same thing as the programmers listed in the Arduino IDE Tools > Programmer menu.
OK, that is good. The blink after reset eliminates some possible causes of the upload error. We now know two things:
The primary microcontroller on the board is running
The bootloader program that handles sketch uploads is present on the microcontroller.
Now we move on to investigating other possible causes of the error.
This error might be caused by having the wrong port selected from the Tools > Port menu in Arduino IDE.
Please perform this experiment to verify that the port you have selected is your Arduino board:
With official boards, the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu (e.g., "COM42 (Arduino Uno)"). In this case, you can be fairly confident that you have identified the port. Select that port from the menu and try uploading again.
With some cheap derivative boards the port will not be labeled. You can positively identify the port using this procedure:
Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus.
Take note of the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
Close the Tools menu. The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus. - If a new port is listed in the menu, that is the port of your Arduino board.
Select that port from the menu and try uploading again.
If the upload still fails, or if no new port appeared after you plugged the Arduino board into your computer, add a reply here to let us know and we'll investigate the problem further.
It is possible for a short or external circuitry connected to the Arduino board to interfere with the upload process, causing this type of upload error.
Make sure the board is not sitting on anything conductive that could short the contacts on the bottom of the board. Make sure there isn't any conductive debris (e.g., strands of wire or component leads) on the board or on the surface the board is sitting on.
If you have a shield or any external circuitry or components connected to your Arduino board, try this experiment:
Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
Disconnect any shields, modules, external circuitry, etc. from your board.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Now try uploading a sketch to the board again. Does the upload succeed?
This experiment will determine whether the upload error was caused by interference from your external circuitry. If so, you can then focus your attention on identifying the specific problem with the circuit and resolving it.
I disconnected every external circuit and it seems to be working. I thought I had already tried this with no success but maybe i was wrong. Thank you very much for your assistance, in case this method doesn't work i'll write here again in the next days
If the problem comes back after reconnecting the external circuitry and you would like assistance in troubleshooting the problem, you can provide a schematic for the forum helpers to review. We might be able to identify the reason why it is interfering with the upload.
