Why do the "Razer Central.exe" and "CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe" processes perform continuous I/O writes?
Is it possible to prevent this?
I tried to remove and reinstall Synapse, but it only worked the first time, and even after the PC hibernated, however it was enough to exit and return to the user account and the two processes resume writing.

Have you run a full system scan on your computer? I recommend contacting our Support Team by submitting a case through this link: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/warranty-support. Otherwise, send me a PM so I can help you initiate an investigation. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hello!

I scanned the system and found nothing.

However, I found that if I manually search for Synapse updates, the two processes stop the I/O writes.
But it's valid until the next reboot or login to the Windows account.

Can you please tell me what the "CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe" process is for, as Synapse seems to work even without it, at least for what I need, that is to program the mouse buttons with dedicated profiles for specific programs/games, that switch automatically.

I'm considering the idea of creating a bat file to kill the process, as this stop the I/O writes for "Razer Central.exe" as well, and schedule it to run a few minutes after logging to Windows account.

The CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe is part of the Razer Synapse 3 and Central's dedicated app host. It allows and provides extra storage, memory, and CPU resources for your apps without impacting the processing capacity. I appreciate your plan. However, issues may arise after altering the software's algorithm. You can always undo the changes or reinstall the software after.
