Arduino Uno upload error

I recently purchased an Arduino Uno. I followed all the steps of the Arduino IDE installation but whenever I try to upload any examples, I get the error

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Sketch uses 444 bytes (1%) 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: ser_open(): can't set com-state for "\\.\COM3"
An error occurred while uploading the sketch

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Under tools
Board; Arduino Uno
Port: COM3 (Arduino Uno)

I have read many support message but none solve my issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Try restarting your computer.

Driver problem, wrong port selected, or port left in a bad state somehow (the latter case is presumably what pert had in minf)

Mini Milf ?

mind was the word I was looking for.
