Discord is one of the most popular communication apps, so if you play games, there’s a good chance it’s on your computer. Here’s a quick guide on how to stop Discord from opening on startup. 

Disabling Discord from Opening on Startup

To stop Discord from opening on startup, open the application and go to User Settings. Navigate to the Windows Settings screen under App Settings, and toggle off Open Discord.

When the Open Discord option is toggled off, Discord will no longer automatically start when your system boots up Windows.

1. Launch Discord.
2. Tap the gear icon at the bottom left to open User Settings.
3. Navigate to the Windows Settings option from the left menu.
4. Under System Startup Behavior, toggle off the Open Discord option.

It’s fairly straightforward to stop Discord from starting when your computer boots up, as is usually the case with most applications. If you ever want to re-enable this option at any time, you can follow the steps above and toggle the Open Discord option back on.
