Additionally, while Discord typically updates automatically, third-party tools like antivirus, firewalls, or optimization programs might disrupt the update process. Now, let’s troubleshoot these issues step by step.

Quick Fixes:

Check Discord Server Status: Before trying multiple steps, confirm Discord’s server status to rule out server issues. I’ll provide the link in the description—check it out. Sometimes, maintenance or back-end issues cause the problem, and you might end up looking for a solution to an error that doesn’t even exist.Restart Your Computer and Router: If the server is working fine, the next step is to restart your PC and router together. This clears the cache and temporary files from RAM and virtual memory, which often resolves the issue, as corrupted cache files can cause problems.

1. Reset Network Configuration

Resetting network configuration helps resolve common internet issues like slow speeds or DNS-related problems. By releasing and renewing the IP address, clearing the DNS cache, and re-registering DNS entries, your system refreshes its network settings. This process can fix conflicts or outdated settings that may be causing connectivity issues.

3. Clear Corrupted Cache or Cookies

One effective way to fix Discord getting stuck on loading is by clearing the cache. This removes temporary files causing issues. Let’s clear the cache for both Web Discord and the Discord app, step by step.

3.1. Clearing Web Discord Cache and Cookies:

Select “All time” as the time range and choose all options to delete browsing history, cache, cookies, and temporary files. This clears corrupted data and can fix issues with Web Discord not loading properly.

3.2 Clearing Discord App Cache on Windows:

4. Remove Proxy or VPN Configuration on Windows

VPNs or proxies can disrupt Discord by altering your connection. Check your network and internet settings for any proxy or VPN setups, and remove them to restore default settings.

5. Check Firewall or Antivirus Settings

Firewalls or antivirus programs can sometimes block Discord, especially third-party ones. It’s advisable to use Windows Defender, as third-party tools can slow down your PC, especially for gamers, unless you’re an expert. Try temporarily disabling your firewall or antivirus to see if it fixes the issue. Note: Don’t forget to re-enable your Firewall and Antivirus for your security and privacy. Find the discord.exe file, choose it, and click on open as mentioned in the image.

5.1 Check Third-Party Antivirus Settings

Images may be different from what you have. We’re highlighting Windows Defender settings, but if you’re using any other third-party antivirus like Avast, Kaspersky, or others, find the same settings and apply them:

5.2 Switch to Windows Defender

If you are using a third-party antivirus, consider switching to Windows Defender for a simpler setup. After making these changes, launch Discord to see if the connection issue is resolved.

6. Reinstall Discord App (or Update Browser)

If the issue is with the Discord application, completely uninstall the app from your system, then download the latest version from the official website and reinstall it. Many users have reported this method resolves the problem for them.

6.1 Updating Your Browser

6.2 Reinstalling the Discord Desktop App

First, we will uninstall Discord using the built-in uninstall feature to remove Discord. Windows’ built-in features are straightforward and often sufficient for removing applications.

6.3 Re-download and Install Discord

7. Fix DNS Problems

Sometimes default DNS providers can also be unreliable, causing slow responses or failing to connect. Additionally, custom DNS settings with filters or security features might accidentally block Discord. Switching to Google’s DNS or another reliable option can help fix these issues.

8. Use a Free DNS Service (Cloudflare Warp Tool)

If the issue persists, your ISP’s assigned IP address might be flagged temporarily. In that case, try using a free VPN like Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 tool—it’s fast and well-optimized.

8.1 Install and Configure the VPN

9. Contact Your ISP (Internet Service Provider)

If the issue persists after trying everything, contact your ISP. Let them know you’ve tested with and without a VPN, cleared the cache, flushed DNS, renewed the IP, and reinstalled Discord. Ask them to check for blocks on Discord, refresh your connection, or move you to a server that works with Discord. This should fix the problem.
