Update hangs: How to free Discord from the update loop

The problem is now very rare. Fortunately, you can solve it in a few simple steps.

• Press the [Windows] and [R] keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens.
• Enter% localappdata% here and confirm with "OK". Then a window opens.
• Select the "Discord" folder and you will find the file called "Update".
• Right-click on the file and select the "Rename" option.
• Simply assign "Update2" as the new name. Start the update file if the update works again.
• If not, restart Discord. If that doesn't help either, you should completely uninstall Discord and then reinstall it.
