Hi @iamiretheo. I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

Please do this:

  1. Start Windows "File Explorer".
  2. Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
    (usually C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE or C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE).
  3. In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
  4. From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
    Windows PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
  5. Type the following command:
    & ".\Arduino IDE"
  6. Press the Enter key.
    Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the Arduino IDE starts.
  7. Wait for the Arduino IDE to finish starting.
  8. Switch back to the PowerShell window.
  9. Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
    This will open a context menu.
  10. Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
    This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
  11. Press Ctrl+C.
    This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
  12. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  13. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block
  14. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  15. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  16. Click the Reply button to post the output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

I tried this and something went wrong. I wasn't able to type in".\arduino.ide and the app didn't open. Then I saw that there was a windows 10 64 bit version, so I i downloaded and installed it as my pc is 64 bit (I may have been running the 32 bit version))
When i ran the 64 bit version. the board type and port are now shown , but the error still comes up and I'm still confused.....

I'm glad the port is being recognized now!

You must click on the "Arduino Uno" item in the menu shown in your screenshot. It is kind of confusing in this case because the top of the menu already shows "Arduino Uno" and there is only board shown in the menu.

The problem is that in Arduino IDE we must select a board and a port. This new "board selector" menu is intended to allow both to be selected at once. But you can also select each individually in the traditional way via the Tools > Board and Tools > Port menus. The top of the menu shows the selection regardless of whether you made it via the "board selector" or via the Tools menus.

You had previously selected the Arduino Uno via the Tools > Board menu, which is why the top of the menu says "Arduino Uno", but you never selected a port. That is the cause of the upload error. I think everything will work fine once you select the port and try uploading again.

That problem seems to work by switching to the 64 bit version to match my OS .The board and port are being recognized now and it compiled and uploaded with no errors but then I attempted to burn the boot loadernand and received the following error

Do you have an ISP programmer connected between your computer and the Uno?

OK, then the error you experienced is expected. The "Burn Bootloader" and "Upload Using Programmer" features of the Arduino IDE can only be used when you have connected a separate piece of hardware called an "ISP" (in-system programmer) to your Arduino board.

If you are interested in doing that, it is possible to make a DIY ISP programmer from a spare Arduino board:

However, you should be aware that it is a fairly advanced project and it is possible to put your board into an unusable state with an ISP. So you should probably only do this if you have some good reason to want to burn the bootloader. If you do end up taking on the project of burning the bootloader on your board, we will be happy to answer any questions you might have and help you out.

The problem was that l was running the 32 bit version of the arduino IDE on a 64 bit Windows 10 PC, WHICH WASN'T RECOGNIZING THAT THE ARDUINO WAS CONNECTED,EVEN THOUGH DEVICE MANAGER DID.
