When a Discord update fails, you’ll usually see something like this:

Causes of Discord Update Failures

The most common cause of Discord update failures is connectivity problems with the internet. If you attempt to start Discord without a working internet connection, you’ll see the update failed message. Similarly, you’ll see this message if your internet cuts out while you’re using Discord. In that same fashion, anything that disrupts the ability of the Discord app to connect to the Discord servers will also cause this error. Antivirus programs, firewalls, and other related things can all cause this error. When you experience the Discord update failed loop, and your internet connection is fine, corrupt local Discord files are usually the cause. Removing the files and sometimes performing a few related tasks will usually allow the program to update.
