Razer Blade 18 2024 Broken Firmware Updater, DOESNT WORK

Good afternoon. Decided to update the firmware on my Razer Blade 18 2024, because after updating to the latest version of Synapse 3, the “Accumulator” section has become inaccessible, Synapse 3 requires updating the laptop firmware. I downloaded 3 updates for BIOS, EC and Firmware. BIOS and EC installed and everything seems to be fine. When I run the Firmware Updater nothing happens, I don't get the update window, the app just hangs and I can't do anything, there is just a black window with no buttons. I have tried doing the update on Windows 11 and 10, no luck. I have the latest version of Windows 11, I have tried every option. I have disabled and enabled Core Isolation. I will attach screenshots, please check them.

  1. Ensure Windows is up to date: Before you start, make sure that your Windows is up to date1. If you just updated Windows, install the “Optional updates” under Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options1.

  2. Power Source: Plug the Razer Blade into a wall outlet. Do not let it run on battery alone before proceeding1.

  3. Close all other programs: Save any open documents on your computer and close all other programs1.

  4. Re-download the Firmware Updater: There might be a chance that the Firmware Updater file you downloaded is corrupted. Try downloading the latest Firmware Updater again2.

  5. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the Firmware Updater and select “Run as administrator”. This will give the updater the necessary permissions to make changes to your system.

  6. Disable Antivirus Temporarily: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with the update process. Try disabling your antivirus software temporarily and then attempt the update again.

  7. Contact Razer Support: If none of the above steps work, I recommend reaching out to Razer Support for further assistance2.

Remember, do not force restart or shut down the Razer Blade during the update process1. I hope these steps help you successfully update your firmware.

I’ve tried all these options. Your update is broken, it doesn’t work! You need to fix it.
