What to Check Before We Continue
First things first: With no connection, Discord won’t be able to update.
Let’s Begin With a Full Uninstall of Discord
Ensure Discord is not currently running, press ctrl + alt + delete to open up Task Manager, and end the process. Next, type in Add or Remove programs in Window’s search bar. Type in Discord and select uninstall. Doing this uninstalls the software, however, it does not get rid of all files associated with it. As a final step for uninstallation, you’ll have to delete Discord’s folder from App Data. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run command, type in %appdata%, and click OK. This will open up your File Explorer, select the Roaming Folder, then click on Discord and delete the folder. Now Discord is fully removed from your computer.
Reinstall Discord
Navigate to Discord’s home page and download the setup software. Open your download folder in File Explorer and run the program as an administrator. Once installed right-click the icon on your desktop, navigate to the shortcut tab, and select advanced. From here, click run as administrator and select OK. Now, restart your computer. Every time Discord launches it will boot with administrator privileges. The combination of a clean install and administrator privileges will most likely solve your issue.
