After scratching my head about this problem, here is a very simple solution that works anytime:

• Unplug your USB cable
• Go in Device Manager
• Click on Ports (COM & LPT)
• Right click on Arduino....(COMx)
• Properties
• Port Settings
• Put Flow Control to HARDWARE
• Create an empty sketch (Optional)
• Connect the USB cable
• Upload (Ctrl + U)

// Empty sketch to fix the upload problem

// The loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop()
{
    delay(1000);
}

Et voila!
