Razer Synapse 3 changes profile when I turn on my computer | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Hi there 👋

I tried to find the same problem but couldn't. So I'm posting it here.

I have two profiles: Default and Games.

The Default profile has no apps and no games assigned.
The Games profile has related games to run.

When I launch a game, Synapse successfully switches devices to the Games profile (I have a Viper 8kHz mouse and Kraken V3 HyperSense headphones). When I exit the game, it successfully switches the profile to "Default". No problems here.

The default profile in Synapse is "Default" for both mouse and headphones. For the mouse it is also saved in the built-in memory (only one profile).

And the problem appears at the moment of rebooting or turning on the computer.

When starting the computer, the devices themselves load the profile saved in them, and then Razer Synapse 3 is loaded, which automatically switches the profile of all devices to "Games".

After that you have to wait a few seconds until the application finishes initializing, then click several times on an empty space on the desktop and move the mouse around the screen for a few seconds. This is the only way Synapse will see that there are no games running on your computer and switch the profile to "Default". This is stressful.

I've also tried waiting a few minutes for it to switch to the "Default" profile, but this doesn't happen if you don't touch the mouse.

How can this problem be fixed?

Exact same problem here. When it loads with wrong profile:

  1. I can press the Win key to open Start menu, it fixes itself and displays it had changed to Default. But yes, you actually need to set focus somehow to Desktop as AndreyHelldar mentioned.
     
  2. or I can open the Synapse app and I can see the “Default” is selected but it displays wrong colors (and key assigments).
    I have to change from it to anything else and change back to Default to activate its settings properly.

    Anyway, thank you for this app. Many games would not be playable without it for left-handed me.

So I was able to solve this issue. 

  1. Open Synapse, navigate to your default profile. 
  2. Bind that profile to C:\Windows\explorer.exe

This ensures when your desktop is loaded or in focus, so is your Default Profile.
