I am having trouble uploading any sketch's I make or get from the internet. I notice that when I upload the sketch and the file is compiling, it gets stuck at the same point regardless if its a sketch I make or a pre-built one with the Arduino. The last line it gets to is, C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ArduinoLLC.ArduinoIDE\_1.8.42.0\_x86\_\_mdqgnx93n4wtt\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -CC:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ArduinoLLC.ArduinoIDE\_1.8.42.0\_x86\_\_mdqgnx93n4wtt\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -PCOM3 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:C:\Users\erich\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino\_build\_741524/MPU.ino.hex:i avrdude: Version 6.3-20190619 Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, [http://www.bdmicro.com/](http://www.bdmicro.com/) Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Joerg Wunsch System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ArduinoLLC.ArduinoIDE\_1.8.42.0\_x86\_\_mdqgnx93n4wtt\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf" Using Port : COM3 Using Programmer : wiring Overriding Baud Rate : 115200 An error occurred while uploading the sketch I'm curious if its as simple as updating something or if I created an error when uninstalling the program and reinstalling at different times throughout the year. Any and all help is appreciated! ---

Look at the programmer. It says wiring. Is this correct? If not chose the correct one fromthe tools menu. Using Port : COM3 Using Programmer : wiring Overriding Baud Rate : 115200 An error occurred while uploading the sketch ---
