Hi there, After analyzing the logs you provided, it appears that this issue was caused by incomplete installation. Please do a clean uninstall and reinstall again to have it fixed.

here is mine. thanks in advance. I have tried installing from a new download and reinstalling it from that but it still does not work https://ufile.io/r546kfxw

You can repair this error from the uninstaller....try uninstalling, from there you will be given multiple options....click MODIFY...rest is history............your welcome!! GG

After a long time of testing (I did tests with Windows Management Instrumental as the user kennethyha commented, but the error still appeared), I think it could be because Cortex has a problem with the Windows registry. When you click on Repair (the second of the 3 options in the RAZER Cortex uninstall window), the program is reinstalled to solve errors and Cortex works again. But this error reappears later if you proceed to perform a routine cleaning of the Windows registry with the system itself or any third-party program. In doing so, Cortex returns to present the same problem of "Cortex star failed, please try again". So this points to a problem with the consistency of the values of the Cortex installation in the Windows registry. For some reason those values are eliminated or corrupted when the registry proceeds to do a routine cleaning. While other programs do not suffer changes, Cortex suffers from this problem. I think RAZER should proceed to investigate this and find a solution.

Has there been any solution to this problem, I have the same problem and have tried to fix it, but the problem still persists.

Hi folks, I just logged in here just to reply to this thread. If your problem is about Cortex failing to startup upon boot, the only real fix I found is that you close that "Try Again" interface then run Cortex normally (not as admin) then try restarting. Hopefully this helps.

Pareil pour moi, trop de probleme de compatibilite entre les differents peripherique razer que j'ai et les synapse 2 et 3. Vous attendez quoi Razer avec vos Logiciels et pilotes, on en a marre !!! ;(

My fix still works like a charm. You guys better try it.
