Hello!
I've recently been having a problem with Synapse launching. I've tried everything I have seen on google to try to fix it to just uninstalling to taking the files from my Laptop (which it still works on here) and implementing them into my desktop.
The problem started about a week or so ago, and its been annoying me since.
I have a Cynosa Chroma keyboard and a Lancehead Wireless mouse if that means anything.

Hello duskiArts, I just ran into this too, here's my fix and insight as to what MY problem was, and hopefully will fix your issue or help guide you :]


Check Task manager -> Services for THREE services: Razer Game Manager Service, and RzActionSvc, Razer Synapse service

The goal here is to have all three on the board and running
Razer Synapse cannot start until RzActionSvc && Razer Game Manager Service are both running.
If they're not on the board Then we will make them get on the board.

1. Try to start any of the three services you can (if present)

2. open up “PowerShell” as Administrator and run any command for the service you need installed.

New-Service -Name "RzActionSvc" -BinaryPathName "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Razer\\Razer Services\\Razer Central\\RazerCentralService.exe"

New-Service -Name "Razer Game Manager Service" -BinaryPathName "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Razer\\Razer Services\\GMS\\GameManagerService.exe"


New-Service -Name "Razer Synapse Service" -BinaryPathName "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Razer\\Synapse3\\Service\\Razer Synapse Service.exe"
RazerGameManagerService doesnt show in the services tab, but Powershell says the service already exists?

Also, RzActionSvc is up and running, and Razer Synapse shows, but is stopped.
