Method 1: System Time Check

Usually, when the discord is started, built-in time check algorithms over the Internet are used, but the errors may still occur if the wrong date is configured on the computer.

Method 2: Starting the program on behalf of the administrator

One of the available problems of troubleshooting when the discord is started - the use of the administrator privileges if the current default account does not have them. To start a software with increased powers, click on the shortcut or executable file with the right mouse button and select the "Run from the administrator" item to the context menu.

There is a possibility that the selected user in Windows does not have the necessary powers and it cannot use the administrator rights. In this case, you will need to switch to another account or configure the required permissions.

Method 3: Completion of Discord Processes

If, when you try to start the messenger in the operating system, its processes have already been launched, it is quite possible that the graphical interface of the program will not appear at all due to failures, just associated with these tasks. You have to complete them all, and then repeat the attempt to open.

1. Right-click on your empty place on the taskbar and call the Task Manager through the context menu.



2. On the Processes tab, find all the lines with the name "Discord" and in turn click on the PCM for each of them.



3. Through the menu that appears, you will need to select "Remove the task" and do the same with all other rows with similar names.



4. Additionally, go to the "Details" tab and browse the list of processes.



5. When "Discord" is detected, press the right mouse button again, but this time, select "Complete Process Tree".

If you prefer to use the "command line" to perform such tasks or want to speed up the process itself, use an alternative instruction that implies the completion of all the tasks of the discord by entering just one command.

1. Run the console by any convenient method for you - for example, finding it through the "Start" menu.



2. Enter the Taskkill / F / Im discord.exe command and press ENTER to confirm the action.



3. Information appears that all processes have been successfully completed.

Method 4: Completion of the session in the web version

Some users parallel with the Discord program opens another or the same account in the web version through the browser on its computer. Developers do not recommend such combination due to problems with data synchronization. A similar situation can also lead to the fact that the discord simply does not start, so if there is an open tab with a web version for a while, close it and run the messenger again.

Method 5: Disable local proxy server

The standard Windows functionality allows you to activate the use of a proxy server for a local network that the usual user is almost simply not needed. Sometimes this parameter is added automatically, and is caused by making changes from other installed programs or when interacting with the operating system. We advise you to check and disable the proxy server to normalize the work of the discord.

1. Open the "Start" and find the "Control Panel" application through the search, which should go.



2. Among the parameters, find the "browser properties" and click on it to open a new window.



3. Move to the "Connections" tab and click on the "Setup Network" button located in the Local Settings block.



4. Pay attention to the "Proxy Server" block and remove the checkbox there that is responsible for its activation. If it is also missing, just close this menu and go to the following method.

Method 6: Select another DNS server

Network connection problems - Another reason for the occurrence of difficulties when starting the program under consideration. Most often this is due to errors with DNS servers. The default options are not always appropriate or the problems are associated directly with the provider, so the incoming connection is not installed, and, as a result, the discord does not start. The surest solution is to install DNS servers from Google, which is made as follows:

1. Open the "Start" and go to the "Parameters" menu.



2. Go to the "Network and Internet" section.



3. In the "Advanced Network Parameters" block, click on the "Adapter Settings" row.



4. In a new window, select the network adapter used, right-click on it and select "Properties" from the context menu.



5. Double click on the "IP version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" parameter.



6. Install the marker near the "Use the following DNS servers addresses" item.



7. In the preferred server, enter the address 8.8.8.8, and alternatively assign 8.8.4.4. If these values ​​are so installed, mark the "Receive the address of the DNS server automatically" marker and apply the changes.

Method 7: Reset DNS Server Kesch

We will analyze another method associated with the DNS server. This time, as a solution to the problem, we will use a team that will cleanse the cache and decides the issue with problem protocols and packages, if such suddenly formed. To implement this task, you do not need special knowledge, since only one command is entered in the console, performing all steps in automatic mode.

1. Above, we have already talked about the "Command Line" launch method, but you can use any other method - for example, by going to the console through the "Run" utility (Win + R) by entering CMD and pressing ENTER.



2. In the console itself, type the ipconfig / flushdns command and confirm the input.



3. After a few seconds, information about the successful cleaning of the machel's cache appears on the screen.

Send a PC to a reboot or reconnect to the current network, after which you can open the discord again and check how it will behave this time.

Method 8: Installing the latest Windows Updates

This method is relevant for all versions of Windows (Consider only Windows 10), since for the normal operation of the discord, it is necessary to have the latest system updates. If you have not checked them for a long time or the search has not been running automatically, we recommend that you perform it.

1. Open the "Parameters" application again, find the "Update and Security" section and go to it.



2. Click the "Check for updates" button, thereby running the process of their search.



3. Expect the operation and read the results obtained. If necessary, set the files found and restart the computer to change the changes.
