So, once we load the registry editor we have to search for the branch where all programs load at Windows startup which isĬomputer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Click the magnifying glass and type 'regedit' to easily find it and click on it. Then click on the upper bar and it will show your current route. There you will see several folders with different versions of Discord. The best way to do this is open a File explorer windows and navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Discord\ So, the thing is that the actual key to load Discord on Windows startup is just missing and in order to fix it we will have to add it manually to the registry.Ĭareful! If you are not used to touch the Windows registry you better wait for a fix in next updates!! Do it at your own risk! If you touch something wrong you can break your system which I will not be held responsible of.įirst of all we have to copy the route to the discord executable. That is a secondary program to (obviously 😉) check for Discord new versions on startup and update it.
That update.exe is not even the program executable. I had the same problem than Hipster1298 and It is due to a missing key in the registry that prevents Discord to load on Windows startup.
