If you are a regular Discord user and have encountered an error message that says “Update Failed, Retrying” while trying to access it on your Windows 10 PC, you are not alone. But don’t worry, this issue is fixable. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to resolve this issue and get you back to using Discord without any trouble.
First, you need to force close Discord from your task manager. Then, locate the Discord service from the background processes, right-click on it, select “Go to details,” and again right-click on that process. Now, try to set the priority to high, and then force close it.
Next, open your Windows Run and execute the command “appdata.” Click on “Roaming” and open the “Discord” folder. Delete the cache-related folders like cache, Code cache, GPU cache, and also delete the “blob storage.” Close all the windows.
One more time, you can open the Windows Run, execute the command “%localappdata%,” and click to open the Discord folder. Now, rename the update file to the following one. Once you have done this process, close all the windows and restart your Windows PC.
After the restart is completed, try to open Discord again. This time, it should start downloading the updates and open smoothly without showing the previously occurred error message.
