Discord for desktop checks for updates and opens on Windows startup, which can be annoying for users. This happens because the application adds an update process to the startup folder during installationand its settings are configured to launch the application when Windows starts.
So here’s how to stop searching for Discord updates and get your boot time back.
How to stop Discord from opening on Windows startup
Follow the steps below to prevent the voice chat app from opening when you start Windows:
1. Open the application on your computer.
2. In the lower left corner, go to Settings as shown below.
3. Under "Windows Settings", disable "Open Discord".
The above steps will prevent the application from opening on startup; however, if your update process is allowed in Task Manager, you can still check for updates. It is therefore imperative to disable it as well.
