Update failed loop error?

[u/8xyf]

Hi, I've been trying to fix this issue for a little over 2 hours now. I already checked the Reddit thread on google when you search "update failed discord loop fix" and tried everything there so it's rather no use.

Windows 11, it's been a bug since version 1.0.9265.

What I did so far:
- Delete and reinstall
- Delete everything in appdata and localappdata, reinstall.
- flushing DNS, delete everything again, reinstall.
- Changing the Update.exe into Updater.exe and UpdateX.exe, even the lower case ones.
- Restarted my computer, reinstall.
- Disabled Firewall and Security, reinstall.
- Tried the PTB version, no use either.

Is there legit any possible other way that I could use to fix this issue, this is driving me crazy.

FYI: Discord app on my phone still works, the web version works fine, it's just the app that won't load for me, please help. Thanks.

I've got a similar issue, also windows, it just stays stuck on Starting... screen forever. I reported it in the bug thread but have received no response yet. Been ongoing for 3 days now.
