Hey there!
We assume that WebView2, a necessary component to run Razer Cortex, may be one of the causes of this issue. Could you please help check whether Microsoft Teams works fine on your PC?
If you did not have Microsoft Teams installed on your PC, please download and install it. Then, launch it and let us know whether it works well.
We appreciate your patience.
Thank you very much for all efforts you have done to help us figure out the causes.
