Discord is an app made mainly for gamers to communicate while they are gaming but many users reported that Discord keeps freezing. This can be a major problem, but in today’s article, we’ll show you how to fix it.
Causes of Discord freezing
Key binds: key binding is a feature allowed supported by various apps. If two or more apps share the same keyboard shortcuts, you might encounter this and other similar problems.
The freezing issue can come up when the app is running in Compatibility Mode. It results from compatibility problems in the app.
Hardware Acceleration: This feature can improve your performance, but it can also cause freezes, so you might want to disable it temporarily.
What to do if Discord keeps freezing? The issue is usually caused by your key binds, and in order to fix it, be sure to disable all Discord key binds. If that doesn’t solve the problem, disable hardware acceleration in Discord app.
Discord is a VoIP application that is used by almost everyone these days for chatting purposes. Discord has a Windows app available for Windows users (despite having a web version accessible from browsers).
Sometimes, the Windows Discord app doesn’t open for users. If you double click the executable file, nothing will happen. For some users, it does open but nothing appears on the screen, just a plain background appears on the screen and nothing else. A lot of users try to open the app after a reboot or a complete reinstall but that doesn’t seem to solve the issue as well.
We don’t know for sure what is causing the issue but what we do know is that the discord app does run. If you open the task manager, you will the discord.exe in the running processes. So, we know that the discord runs but it just doesn’t show up on the screen. For people who are seeing just the grey screen, it might be because of discord trying to log you in and it’s stuck in the login process. So, the discord app doesn’t show anything on the screen because, well, it can’t log in.
