Unable to program my Nano after "new Board Updates installed

I have been successful to date (that is prior to installing the "New Board Updates" to my ID) these were for all boards including Arduino Nano.

Now I am unable to complete the downloading of my code to any of my Nano Boards. The following ERRORS are displayed.

"Arduino: 1.8.1 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P"

Sketch uses 6376 bytes (20%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.

    avrdude done. Thank you.
    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."

PS. I tried a complete reinstallation of my IDE and even updated to arduino-1.8.4 for Windows, STILL NO LUCK!
