Windows 10: I'm having a problem that is causing my discord to frequently crash and will occasionally...

Not only is discord crashing it fails to open most of the time or will crash right as I click on a server or dm. I've noticed that it usually crashes while I'm in game overwatch 2. I've tried to fresh install discord deleted all discord related files/cache files, tried opening it as administrator, compatibly mode windows 8, disabling hardware acceleration, and running sfc /scannow in CMD. I'm unsure if its an issue with discord, overwatch 2, my pc, or windows but i've only had crashing/boot problems with discord.Sys Info, DMP file

printer problems and occasional crashes since the update a couple days ago.

Hi Phillip,

Having a faulty printer driver could be a possible cause why you are experiencing an issue with printing. For us to provide an accurate resolution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build and edition of Windows is installed on your device?
• What error message are you getting when you are trying to print?
• Are you experiencing the same issue even when you are trying to print using other computers?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest running the automated troubleshooter for devices and printers. Visit this
link, click and run the following tools:
Troubleshoot problems with devices and printers and
Find and fix problems with printing. These tools can scan and repair damaged printer drivers.

Since this thread is dedicated for the printer issue, we encourage you to create a new thread for your concern about the occasional crashes. This is so we could keep the Microsoft Community Forums organized and for you to get better assistance.

We are looking forward to your response.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues in downloading Discord app on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• What is the complete error message that you receive when you try to install Discord?
  

• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer
  Which version of Windows operating system am I running?
  

If you are using an anti-virus, I would suggest you to disable it temporarily and check.



Note: If you disable the security software or firewall, the system might be temporarily exposed to security threats and risks. Please make sure to turn it on after performing the steps.



If disabling the anti-virus doesn’t help, we can perform a Clean Boot on the computer.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer.
However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article How to perform a
clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



If Clean Boot doesn’t work, we can create a new user account and check.
Refer the article Create
a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.



You can also try removing the left over files of Discord by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Window logo key + R to open Run window.
   
2. Type %appdata% and press
   Enter.
   
3. From the path that will open delete the %AppData%/Discord and %LocalAppData%/Discord folders.
   
4. Restart your computer in the end.
   

Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



Regards,

Occasionally chrome and discord crashes, and Genshin Impact crashes around 5mins in (everytime).

I have the same issue. Anything I play crashes if discord and chrome running background after a while even though I still have free memory.
