Just want to put this here incase it helps anyone. If you have vencord, it could be a vencord issue, go into the vencord installer and press "reinstall/repair" then open up discord again. Hope this helps :3
edit: glad to have helped yall <3

Thank you Kellan. I reinstalled it and restarted my PC like what any IT people would first tell me to do but nothing. This is really helpful and straight to point.

Thank you for this guide! I was stuck and didn't know what to do, I didnt want to relogin my account so I tried deleting the cache folder and things worked out pretty well for me

[Pianootje]

This didn't work for me, it's still a gray screen when i start it up. Do you know something else i can do?

[Kitty_Salad]

doesnt work it just occasionally goes discord gray even tho I can hear everyone and they can hear me
it fixes itself when I minimize and return it but its weird and annoying still

[Kung_Fu_Frankie]

Very helpful. Did everything including a fresh install and still wasn't doing anything. You fixed my issue in a minute. You the goat.

Like a lot of others, thank you! Discord decided it wanted to pull this, for no reason. Really appreciate the super simple, straight forward fix you provided

[phastt]

Huge thank you. This also works if Discord tries to load, shows a grey screen, then closes immediately. Task manager and uninstall didn't work, but this fixed it! Thank you again.
