Discord: disable hardware acceleration

AppsModerate riskReversible

Edits Discord's settings.json to turn off GPU hardware acceleration (frees a chunk of GPU/VRAM while gaming). BEST-EFFORT: it edits a per-user config file, so it may not apply if Discord is open or stores settings elsewhere. Revert re-enables it. Close Discord before applying.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
