Discord's record in startup (and assembly's metadata, most likely)

Discord's record in startup doesn't look like it belongs to Discord, it is named 'Update' and has Publisher set to GitHub.

I tried navigating to the executable file and it has GitHub copyrights as well.

Does Discord use some external tool for updating or is it some messed up assembly configuration? In any case, it would be good if it becomes possible to find Discord in startup just by looking on the list, not requiring to check every conspicuous record.

Here's also a screencast on that .exe: https://youtu.be/SUMf30zokVs

  At first, I also thought it might be a keylogger or any kind of virus but turnouts that it's a discord update checker that launches when you start your computer. I agree that they should change its name and the icon.
