In the GETTING STARTED section Board not recognized help please

Getting started steps, arduino is guiding this, two fresh out of sealed packages, Arduino UNO with a made in Ital logo on back.
They are recognized by the PC, green light on, as soon as they are plugged in the yellow light is flashing

Uno with made in Italy logo on back.

This is the link - Arduino Cloud - Getting started

Each time they time out with error "We could not find any board"

and yes - tried other cords

Which IDE version ?
What OS ?

Could you take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum.
Other general help and troubleshooting advice can be found here.
It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

Yes Bob read thru all that,
windows 10
ide - no idea, bought whay is printed a Arduino UNO as I said before

ide - no idea,

The IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is (as far as this discussion is concerned) the version of the Arduino editor that you use. The number is displayed at the top of the editor window

I dont think this is an IDE issue but one of the other Arduino online offerings.

Even then I am not sure a UNO may be supported for IOT.

Start HERE

You need at least an IDE installed.
Choice is the proper IDE or the ONLINE IDE both support the UNO right out of the box.

guys - I went to the start here to get started AND I you that two days ago, with the link
what IDE are you going to have if it was downloaded two days ago???

what you are hinting at??? These boards are fake?

Just say it - they were advertised are real, as I typed, have made in Italy on them, UNO seems to be what I see others using, this forum can't help with UNOs? Its OK to 100% fake these out given its open code?

Be clear what are you insinuating "one of the other arduino on line offereings??

this hinting and poking isnt making any progress, and its not helping, its thsame start here and it fails that I was at three days agoq!

We are NOT hinting or poking and to be very blunt here we dont really give a rats 4ss if it is a clone or not as we will still support you.

However to do that we need you to help us.
I gave you two initial links that lay out helpful things we may need to know or you could try.

Have you used both those links FULLY ?

You need to install some software to use the Arduinos and I gave you in my last post a link to either the online or the regular IDE.

Have you installed at least one of them ?

We are honestly trying to help you here.

Moreover I can see the large quantity of On-Line fakes that say "genuine jdjughuhiu Arduino UNO compatible", or actual board graphics may be differet - like you know for sure that's a fake.

they play tricky games with words, however the UNO's I have purchased before have been programed and do their job.

THis was supposed to be simple time saver, not a runaround the kindergarten room, get an UNO, load developed proven code plug in and go.
,
Still cannot get the Arduino to ne recognized even tho it is flashing as soon as its connected to the compuiter

READ ALL THE REPLIES CAREFULLY !

ALREADY COVERED THE CLONE / FAKE / REAL POINT !

ANSWER THE DARNED QUESTIONS POSED TO YOU !

See I can "rant" just as well as you can but I can also take the time to comprehend what is being asked of me.
Please stop the fake tirade as it helps nobody least of all you.
We want to know more about your system ?
We want to know what IDE you have installed ?

If you dont want to answer then please dont waste time with your current line of thinking as it will end in tears on your part.

I did not need to re peat what you sent as I had the APP installed and l already tried top use the online web version. Whe I took the time to post EXACTLY what it (the app) was doing and the web domain address...geez, you should know Exactly where I am at
