Programmer not responding

Hello,
I am having an issue with uploading a project to my Arduino. I have tried my Nana, Pro Mini and Micro they all have the same issue. I have made sure that I am using the proper COM port and that the correct board is selected. I have tried changing USB cables and it is the same issue. It compiles the sketch then just hangs for a while at uploading then I get this error:

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)"

Sketch uses 924 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

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

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks!

Your topic was Moved to it's current location / section as it is more suitable.

Could you also 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.

Post a close, in focus picture of your board, or provide a link to where you purchased it from.

These are the three Arduino boards that are all having the same issue as I described above.
Thanks!

I have tried using other Arduinos that have the blink program installed by default so I know that the bootloader is burned and that is not the issue. I just cant see to get around the loading issue where the programmer isnt responding.

The clone boards often need the CH340 driver installed. That is well worth a go .
Also make sure you are using a data type usb lead and not a charger type lead
