Recently, after the update, my Razer Synapse has been causing FPS lags whenever I open games. I wanted to ask around what I should do first before trying to uninstall Synapse.

I think Razer processes and services should use no more than 0.1% of CPU usage (that is my case at least). Are you using Cortex? If so, I'd delete it in the first place. I did some tests and running games through Cortex usually costs a 3-4 FPS drop, even though it is suppossed to boost your games...

I found out that it was the Chroma Studio that caused my fps drops. Since I tried synapse alone and it did not have any problems. This didnt help though. Would you please recommend another fix I can do?
