Have been trying to install discord through the microsoft store for awhile now and have tried resetting the cache, reinstalling microsoft store and many other things and no matter what I do I have had no luck being able to install it or even find where it is "installed" at. if anyone can help me figure out how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

    Hi!

    There might be some leftover traces of the app from a previous installation. Have you used Discord on this computer before, or is this your first time?

    Have you tried installing the desktop version?

    Check for any remaining traces of the app using the commands below:

    1. Type "Powershell " in the Search Bar > Right-click on the app > Select ''Run as administrator''.
    2. Type the commands below:

    ATTENTION: Type exactly the same commands described below > When typing the first command, press ENTER > Wait for the command to complete > Run the next command in the list.

    Get-AppxPackage *Discord*

# If nothing appears on the screen, try the following commands until some information appears:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *Discord*

winget list Discord

    If nothing appears on the screen after running the commands above, the system was unable to find any traces of the app.
