Using Arduino on new PC build

Hello. So i just built a new PC and am now trying to use my Arduino Uno on it. The OS is Windows 10. When i attempt to upload my code i am getting an error message. I already made sure that the correct board is selected under "Tools". The programmer selected is "AVRISP mkll", which is the same one that is on my Mac and the Uno works on that. Here is the error message:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows Store 1.8.57.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 2586 bytes (8%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 274 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1774 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\COM3": Access is denied.

Thank you in advance for the assistance!
