Hey,
I'm trying to install Razer Cortex so it works properly with Synapse 4 and Razer App Engine, but without installing Razer Central. Is there any clean way to do this or a custom install method to avoid Central? I’ve tried to do anything

Hi, same question here. Currently I need to run central with cortex and for everything else synapse 4. I spent a lot of money for the razer notebook to have a all in one solution but the software has to use 2 contact points... That's annoying. I expected a better integration of current system/programs to updated version. Synapse 3 was also integrated in central

You cannot separate this. Razer Central is integrated part of the software.
