Every time I try to upload a program to my Arduino uno r3 It takes forever to upload then gives me a bunch of error messages. I'm aware my board is a knock-off, specially this one (Amazon.com). If I have to buy a new board or chip (ATMEGA328P) I could, but money is tight always (hint's why I have a knock-off) and if there's any way to fix it I wouldn't know because my brain is smooth when it comes to this sorta stuff.
I will constantly check this thread for the next 5 hours till I got school
the elegoo UNO compatible board you linked is using the ATMega328P and ATMega16U2 just like the regular UNO so it should work just fine.
can you copy and paste here the error message you get using code tags (post text, not an image of text)
if in doubt on how to use the forum, please read How to get the best out of this forum and post accordingly

It would be better if you formatted your errors like this:
```
Errors here
```
You'll get:
Errors here
What OS and IDE version are you using?
did you select Arduino UNO as the target board?
did you select the right COM port?
are you 100% sure the USB cable you are using is good for both data and power?
have you tried another USB port on your computer?
Im on Windows 11 IDE 2.0.5 nightly
Im almost certain I have the board correctly selected because It shows up in the IDE whenever I plug it in as Arduino uno com 3. I have tried different ports and cables before making the post I'm trying again but if I don't reply assume nothing has changed, and I still have the issue.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
try with the released version 2.0.4 and not the nightly build with is on the bleeding edge 
try as well with the Legacy IDE 1.8.19
download those from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
Ill give it a try be back in a sec
I tried both and the error messages are same as before, I figure it a problem with uploading because when I press upload it says it's uploading... then a min later it displays the same error messages

I believe it's an uploading error because it shouldn't take that long to upload like the default blank program. I'm still getting the same error messages as before.

How this board appears in Windows device manager? What's the COM port there?
port: COM3
It's the same port selected in Arduino IDE?
Have you selected the Uno board in the IDE?
Correct. yes Its selected just when I click upload it waits then give error message same as above.
I could suggest two possible problems.
The first, the ATmega16U2 is damaged and you can't solve it easily.
The second, the bootloader is missing or corrupted and you need burn it again. In this case a programmer or another Arduino is needed.

Okay I wouldnt be surprised if it was broken, but I don't have another Arduino do you have a programmer you would recommend.
The programmer is almost the same price of a new Uno, so is better get a new because if the recover process fails you will have a new board to use.
