Won't upload to a Nano Every

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

I've been working on a project with a Nano Every for a couple of weeks now, yesterday I tried to upload some changes I made to the sketch, it will not upload, I get a timed out message. I'll assume I've done something bad to my Every because this message doesn't look good to me. Says it can not locate the flash and boot memories.

Here's the error message I get

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

is it connected at the selected COM port?

Yes, it's been the same port all along but to confirm I went into Device Manager, saw it was com 7, unplugged it, it was removed from the port list, then plugged it back in, back to com 7. I also tried a different USB port on my computer, it also went to com 7

Thanks
