sketch upload error

Hi,

i have some issues uploading any sketch to SOME of my arduinos.

I have a variety of arduinos and clones, including Arduino Micro, Uno, Mega, Leonardo and others.
Using a Micro, all works fine. With Arduino Uno and Mega, Port Com1 is always selected, i cannot load board info and upload does not work either.
With the Leonardo, i can read board info and select a proper Com8 or so, but uploading does not work.
I have tried different Programmer settings, but neither work.
What would be VERY helpful would be a reference list "Which programmer to use with which kind of board"

Meanwhile, i suppose the lates Windows update might have caused some problems especially in terms of the virtual com ports. Does anyone see similar issues ?
My current Windows version: (see attachments)

The following are some of the errors i receive: (see attachments)

I have recently updated the Arduino IDE to the newest version.

I have some laptops using older versions of Windows and Arduino IDE which do just fine, no errors.

Thanks for your replies !
Regards,
Gerhard

Forgot to mention:
Using the "Arduino as ISP" Programmer shows a slightly different message, and the "Reset" issue of the Leonardo also shows up. But no matter which programmer, nothing works.

bieblsoft:

The Tools > Programmer menu selection is only used when you are doing Tools > Burn Bootloader or "Upload Using Programmer". When you're doing a standard "Upload", the Tools > Programmer menu selection is completely ignored. So it makes no difference at all what you have selected from the Tools > Programmer menu.

Well, that is what i have been thinking too. But why do the error messages differ then ?
Seems to me, that this setting is indeed used, althought it should not be.

Thanks,
Gerhard
