I installed razer cortex along with the razer central. However, when I try to open cortex a black screen pops up so I cant login/use it at all. I tried some stuff I found online but nothing worked.

For months I have had this issue too, and today, I finally figured it out.  First, to be clear, the “issue” was launching Cortex would result in a brief view of the Cortex window, and then the window would go black, resulting in my closing the application by right clicking and closing the window in the taskbar.  The cause for this behavior is the HDR setting.  Today, I wanted to adjust my display settings a little, and turned-off HDR.  Low and behold, when I opened Cortex, it worked!  It did not go blank!  To verify, I turned the HDR setting back on, and guess what?  Yes, the blank window.  Hence, in my case, the Cortex app does not work with HDR turned-on.   FYI, I have all the Razer apps set to run as administrator.  I tried all the workarounds suggested other than reinstalling Windows.  Try turning off HDR, and see if that works for you as well.

 

THIS IS THE FIX. i spent 2 hours today and this is the solution. TURN OFF HDR.

THANK YOU

Additionally, check if your graphics drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues.

I have 2 monitors and a TV attached to my PC. The monitors are not compatible with HDR. The TV is and HDR was turned on in the System > Display > HDR settings. I turned it off and now Cortex is working. Even when the TV was off, apparently just having it selected was the problem.

Thank you for posting your solution!

Hey @Nyagami ,

 

The installer sent to users before is earlier than the latest update. So, the current official version is the latest version. 

 

To fix this, could you clear the cache by following the steps below?

  1. Exit Razer Cetral by right-clicking the Razer Central icon > Exit All Apps
  2. Go to find this folder “WebAppCache” under “Razer Central” folder. You can copy and paste this directory %localappdata%\razer to fine them.
  3. Clear all contents in “WebAppCache” folder.
  4. Restart Razer Cebtral by launching any Razer apps. 

If this issue persists, please feel free to provide us with your logs via pm.

i have the same problem, can i get the installer too? 
P.S. why cant you just pin the link somewhere here, if you are sending it to literaly everyone?
i mean, it could’ve been easier for everybody to just use the link for new installer, is’nt it?
