The gaming community is expanding day by day. Networking is the key to any community. Players use different applications to chat via audio or text messaging. Discord is one of the applications used by most players for messaging purposes.
During the time of installation (Discord), there are chances that the user had followed on-screen instructions and forgotten to deselect the option to start the application on startup. The applications that open up with the Windows startup make the computer slow unnecessarily. To avoid performance issues, the user can stop the Discord application from automatically opening.
