Did razer make a fix for cortex? | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
so i uninstalled razer cortex because every time i would stop a game it would put my pc into a mode where i could not do anything. the mouse would work but no apps would open, couldn't shut down the pc (only if i held the power button down)



ive been reading a lot of people been having this issue and once they uninstalled there were no more problems i loved razer cortex and what it did.



did razer happen to fix this problem or are people still having issues with this?



amd ryzen 7 3700x oced

msi 2070 super

asus tuf x570 with wifi

4x4 8g corsair vengeance 3200 ram oced

x63 nzxt kraken
I've had this issue before and never found a fix I just ended up not allowing cortex to optimize my system everytime I opened a game.

Main way I've ever optimized my system for gaming has been using Opera GX(Quite a useful app and provides chroma support too if that floats your boat) and overclocking my GPU with MSI Afterburner.
I just have all the boosting stuff turned off so it doesn't change anything and it's been fine. I just use it for the wishlist and rewards.
Same kinda issue with my pc.

I am having a pc with Ryzen 7 and asus rtx 2060, nzxt x63, asus Mobo, :(
