open task manager and delete any instances of discord. They tend to hide. It will look for updates that way too.
uninstall -> reinstall should fix this issue.
Could also be a cheap internet provider issue, who's your provider?
should also work too. For me I just ctrl alt del and there's always an instance running that makes it do that it's pretty frustrating but it is what it is.
