What do you mean by it keeps failing, one, and two, you could try clearing your discord cache.

Make sure you drivers, and Windows is up-to-date.

If you are missing any .NET or C++ Redistributable updates, etc, it can cause such issues.

Did you download / install any of the motherboard / chipset / audio / LAN drivers yet?

How about the drivers for your graphics card?

 

If you JUST finished installing Windows, then you need to let it pick up updates, download, and install them.

It may take a couple of repeated process before it finishes.

It depends on which Windows 11 release you had on your install media -- the older it is, the more updates / patches is needs to get itself up-to-date.

 

And yes, giving information about your system hardware is useful.

It should have been in your first post right at the get go.

List your CPU / Motherboard / RAM / Graphics Card / Power Supply, etc ... along with its make / brand / model.

check device manager to see if there is any unknown devices with a (?) or (!) next to them. if not try this: Press the windows key + r and type in cmd.exe, then type in taskkill /F /IM discord.exe and try to launch discord again
