Missing Window files discovered when installing Discord app.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the error code or the error message that you are getting, while installing Discord?

There may be various issues that can cause the installation failure. You can try the below steps and check:

1. Close Discord, and make sure all it's processes are terminated (Check your system tray and task manager).

2. Press Windows key + R together to open Run command.

3. Type %appdata%, and press enter.

4. Delete the Discord folder.

5. Press Windows key + R to open Run command.

6. Type %localappdata%, and press enter.

7. Delete the Discord folder.

I'd also suggest you to refer this article on

Hope it helps.

Can you open your browser in an inprivate window then try downloading again or use an alternative web browser?

Are you having issues with the installer failing and/or shooting out various errors causing the app from installing? Though not intentional, there may be various issues that can cause the installation process to fail. Here are some general troubleshooting techniques
that can help get you locked and loaded.

Close Discord in the system tray and make sure all Discord processes are terminated. (Sometimes stray processes can hide in your system tray or your task manager- double check those!)

Delete the 2 following folders:

%AppData%/Discord

%LocalAppData%/Discord

To find those folders, hit the Start button + R, and enter:

%appdata% in the run window and hit enter:

Then %localappdata% in the run window and hit enter:

Then find the "Discord" folder in both of those windows, and delete it.

If your OS tells you that the file cannot be deleted because it's still in use. Open up the Task Manager and terminate all instances of Discord there and in the start up tab.

Restart your system.

Reinstall via
https://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=win

In some cases, these extra steps may be necessary.

Set the Discord application (%LocalAppData%/Discord/most recent version) to run as Administrator and set Compatibility to Windows 7 or 8 (try both)

Make sure that all instances of Discord, including the browser version, are closed out before attempting the steps.

Extremely high ping on PC after trying to upload a file to Discord

Hello Alex,

It could be possible that the issue is still caused by Discord trying to upload a file. We'd like to know more about your issue. Have you tried to reinstall Discord?

As an initial troubleshooting, I suggest that you run these networking commands using the Command Prompt window. Please follow the steps below:

1. Press the Start button > type Command
   prompt > right-click on Command Prompt, and then select
   Run as administrator > Click on
   Yes.
2. Run the following commands in the listed order, and then check if it fixes your issue:
   

• Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
• Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
• Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

If the issue still persists, I recommend that you perform a network reset. This will reset all network settings to the defaults.

1. Press the Windows key + I > Network & Internet >
   Status > Network reset.
2. On the Network reset screen, select Reset now >
   Yes to confirm.
   Wait for your PC to restart and check if that fixes the problem.
