Razer Synapse is driving my PC's USB crazy

It seems like more often, over time, my USB devices keep restarting along with everything that is connected to Synapse.

Everything Chroma will turn off, I'll hear multiple windows alerts telling me devices are disconnecting/reconnecting, and it eventually goes back on. Except sometimes there will be casualties.

For example: It happens the worst when I want to really immerse in a game and I set everything to ambient so it syncs with the colors on my screen. Often times I'll get many series of USB devices restarting when I'm using an ambient profile and after the 3rd or 4th round often times some of my devices won't be performing with the set profile in Studio. Like everything will be ambient except for my mouse cable bungee and my headset stand. Or my mouse pad. Or all 3.

I've reinstalled USB drivers, confirmed all USB are showing no errors in device manager, can't narrow down why this keeps happening.

I've also had errors with my Razer headset, specifically with the drivers conflicting with Windows 10 and causing a crash/reboot on occasion. No solid fix yet. How did you update your USB drivers?

There may be an issue with the Razer Synapse application. I suggest that you perform a clean re-installation of Razer Synapse to see if it corrects the problem. You can follow this guide on how to perform a clean re-installation properly. I’ll be locking this thread now. Feel free to send me a PM anytime or visit our self-help options should you have other questions or concerns.
