      Tips

      • If Discord is not updating for you, check the Discord server status to make sure the issue is on their end instead of yours.

      • In case the servers are working properly but your app on Windows still won't update, try right-clicking the app icon and running it as administrator so it has permission to overwrite other files it needs to for the update.
