Programmer is not responding error

Question

I currently am running into problems with my new Arduino board. The complete details are here with log info and other troubleshooting steps https://forum.arduino.cc/t/programmer-is-not-responding-error/1243022. I just bought a new Arduino Uno with WIFI and I cant download the code to the device. Any new suggestions on how to fix this?

EDIT

After the comment I updated the question to include everything from the other forum. Below is the original question

I'm new to Arduino, I just received my first board the other day, Arduino Uno with WIFI. I even bought a USB cable in the same order. I started playing around with it today and every time I try to upload the code I get this error. I turned to Google and found this avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding | SOLVED which has a number of different things to try. I tried all but using a new board or USB cable as they are both brand new, PC or manually installing the drivers because I cant find it in the device manager on Windows. I'm using Windows 11.

avrdude done. Thank you. Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

Also trying to check for a firmware update results in and I cant change it to check.

Answer 1

According to the linked forum thread, the board in question is actually an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, which is not an AVR board, so the wrong board is selected.

According to the guide at https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/uno-r4-wifi/r4-wifi-getting-started/, the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi needs to be added through the Board Manager. That will allow the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi board to be selected.
