A few days ago I went to launch a game using Cortex. I got an error message telling me to specify how to launch the game. I closed Cortex and then tried again. I once more got the error. So I shutdown and restart my laptop. I tried to launch the game again and for some reason Cortex launched Steam. At this point I uninstall Synapse and Cortex and search my laptop for anything labeled Razer. After deleting every folder, registry entry, etc. I restarted my laptop and then reinstalled Cortex and Synapse. Upon launching a game from Cortex it still opens Steam. I've repeated this cycle several times now.
Has anyone ever had such an issue? Also, where are the configuration files for Cortex located? Something is definitely being left behind and I want to know what it is.

I've decided to just give up on this issue and go back to launching games using GeForce Experience. That has always worked flawlessly. The thread can be deleted.
