Whether I have a board connected OR NOT I receive this error when uploading :
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9d

I only have only one com port available which says unknown whether I have a board connected or not. I have tried the arduino ide as well as vs code with an arduino extension. This is perplexing please help.

The issue is definetly not my board as it works fine on other laptops

Try to change the Processor from “ATmega328P” to “ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)”

4

just says missing programmer

My conclusion: your board is not properly recognised by your operating system.

The port that you selected should disappear when you disconnect the board (both in the IDE and at the operating system level).

So the questions:

  1. Which board?
  2. Clone or original?
  3. Which operating system?
  4. What does your operating system think of your board?

The port shows only COM3 UNKOWN whether the board is connected or not. It is a clone but works fine on other devices, windows.

You forgot to answer questions (1) and (4).

  1. Did you install the driver? It probably needs the CH340 driver. Check the VID and PID in Windows device manager if Windows recognises it and take it from there.
  2. Which version of the IDE?

In which case it is not your Arduino.
