Discord gives a problem and does not update on PC?
With Discord updates on the Android system, there are almost never any problems. However, users who use Discord from their computer are always presented with problems updating your Discord. There are several ways to solve such problems and we will show them to you immediately:
Disable Windows Defender
Windows Defender is Windows’ protective antivirus, this program always keeps the computer protected and in view of that is that hinders updating a program. While an update is downloading, Windows Defender analyzes potential risks and anything you see a little weird will block it.
So, before installing the Discord update, it is good that you look for Windows Defender and turn it off. Then proceed to use the update again mentioned in the previous sub topics. It should be noted that with Discord you can even share a screen from an Android cell phone and from computers.
Run as administrator
When we say ‘Run as administrator’ we mean the Discord program. At the moment in which ‘Discord’ is going to be updated, it is necessary that the program have administrator permission to carry out the action. Therefore, when you go to open the program to close the session and continue with the update, you must start Discord with administrator permissions.
