Started happening to me this week. Complete incompetence by Razer. I have all Razer stuff, headset, keyboard, mouse, webcam…. thought it was good to keep it managed all in one place. 

This needs to be fixed, you provide expensive products FIX YOUR CODE!

 

Its beyond incompetence.  Its infuriating.  This thread is more than a year old!

Hello everyone! I had the same issue for several months, and I reinstalled Windows every week until I reinstalled without installing Synapse 3 for my headset. Now I have to use a headset instead of speakers for work and games again, but I'm afraid installing Synapse 3 will minimize games… I really don't want to reinstall Windows again.
The bug is still here, isn't it?

I haven’t had to uninstall Synapse, I’m able to just exit the app and it won’t minimize my game and restart it when I want to use it with no issue.  It only seems do it with games that have intrusive anti-cheat.

If anyone else has this problem I would just reccomend unistalling the app until the next update.

I had this same problem, begun a few days ago, no idea why. Full screen games randomly go back to desktop. A focus logger says the focus goes to Razer Synapse from the game. Updating synapse and disabling notifications in its settings made the problem go away, at least for now... I think razer should really fix their notifications thingy if that’s what caused this. It’s a real hazard you are playing in a competition and then the game disappears in middle of a fight because of something as trivial as a mouse driver being bad. This bug was bad enough I’d move to firmware settings and totally uninstall everything razer related, but then I’d lose the keyboard RGB settings which are not stored to firmware and the default rainbow effect is really bad with coloured key caps.  :C

I can confirm also disabling notifications temporarily fixes the problem.

I was too early.  The fullscreen game disappearing thingy happened again,  it’s just less frequent now after disabling Synapse notifications, but it still happens sometimes. I realized that the new Windows Lightning Control feature in win11 can control the razer keyboard RGB without having any razer stuff installed (it actually does it better as the color is restored even before logging-in, at an earlier point of booting up.) So yay for Microsoft. Also the mouse has on-board memory. So now I have a working mouse and a keyboard without having Synapse installed anylonger, and the games losing focus thing should be fully “fixed” if Synapse was always the cause.

This started again,  I have to “exit all apps” in order for my games not to exit full-screen.

I have notifications / overlays / the works turned off.

Please work with microsoft to fix this!

Have the same problem but for me the focuslogger Days Explorer.exe is taking focus.

 

I Have the synapse software installed as well, can that still be the problem?

And also i have the Razer Viper v3, will my mouse tun at 800dpi and 4000hz without Razer Synapse?

Just disable the notifications in settings and should fix the issue

Still not fixed! A recently freshly reinstalled Windows 11, installed Synapse 4 yesterday because of a new Razer mouse. After install Synapse, full screen games begin to randomly lose focus and you have to alt-tab back to them. Disabling notifications in Razer settings does not help.  Sometimes it occurs almost every minute, sometimes more rarely. Only solution I still know is to uninstall Synapse. :(
