Razer Synapse 2 not opening


Userlevel 1
Hello everyone,

Today I've updated Razer Synapse 2, and it doesn't open anymore. When I close it, and again run it then it shows the notification of syncing settings, but it still doesn't open. I have tried reinstalling and everything. Even tried on other PC and it happens the same thing. Any solution?
I cleaned all folders with Ccleaner before reinstalling.
Under Programs And Features only option unistalling is working. Changing or repair throws an error of not founding . msi installer. It never happened before any of these things..

I have the same issue. The app won't open, upgrade, or uninstall. I noticed this started happening after the app tried to update and evidently failed, as the update process ran for 2+ hours and eventually stopped when I had to shut down.

I can unistall through Programs and Features.. but it doesn't open. From this new update I think it's 2.21.24.1 I can not open and nothing.. and also on the other laptop is same not working, which can not be coincidence..
Just downloaded Synapse2 after buying a new pad and same problem. I see the icon but when I go to open it, nothing happens. Saved the file to my computer and installed it as an administrator and then ran the program as an administrator. Still nothing. When was the last update and can we download an earlier version of the program.

I've tried to install previous version, but as I install, it starts downloading and updating the new update. So I was still at the same problem.. I've reached support team of Razer but I am still waiting for a good answer and maybe solution.

I've tried everything they suggested.. so no.. at least I don't have solution yet.. I hope Razer will have soon..
That means we have to wait 3 weeks for them to find and fix the bug which i think is due to the windows 10 update that was just released

yeah.. or maybe more than 3 weeks. My headphones sound really suck without this program.

I am having 1809 build still. My boyfriend tried on his PC which has 1903 build, and it does the same thing. We tried on 5 different PCs and the program didn't open on single one of them. So I really don't know, what could the problem be..
Anyone find a solution for this?

sadly no..
Figured it out. The 1903 Windows 10 upgrade is causing issues with USB devices - including the latest “fix”. Microsoft is working on it. For those of us desperate enough to get back to using Razer Core, I switched back to the 1809 Windows 10 upgrade which required a clean install of Windows (don’t try a downgrade) and disabled windows updates as the first order of things then plugged in the Core and then installed Synapse 2. After installation it asked me to reboot which I did and everything worked. Installed the graphics card driver after that and now I’m up and running.

I’d wait for the news on a proper fix for the issue before enabling windows updates again.

I won't go back to 1809 just because of one program not being enough optimised. I am done with razer, they didn't even reply on my question from gmail. And I was on 1809 version, and didn't worked. On my other laptop who is still on 1809 version the program is not working as well.
Any updates? I can't get my orbweaver to work at all. Literally can't play PC games without it (Regular keyboard triggers my arthritis to much)

yeah, it's still not working for me since august. So nice Razer.. new update came, nothing new. Installed, log in.. nothing. Still doesn't open. Didn't work on 1809, 1903, 1909 version Windows. So I gave up.
So frustrating. :mad_: I may need to buy a Logitech, they doesn't seem to care about customers. :confused_:
That helped me.
