Answer 1

Hii,

You will do the following, access the C:\Users\rui_-\AppData\Local\ folder, delete the discord folder, and restart the computer.

Then open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

It will install discord in offline mode: https://canary.discord.com/

Run as administrator
