Has anyone else been experiencing issues with Razer Synapse lately?

Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed random problems on my setup including:

  • Synapse sometimes not detecting devices after startup
  • RGB profiles not syncing correctly
  • Higher CPU and RAM usage in the background
  • Occasional lag when switching profiles or macros
  • Random crashes requiring a restart of the app

Current setup:

  • Windows 11
  • Razer BlackWidow keyboard
  • Razer Basilisk mouse
  • Razer Synapse 3 installed with latest updates

I already tried reinstalling Synapse, updating drivers, disabling startup conflicts, and cleaning temporary files, but the issues still happen occasionally.

I really like the Razer ecosystem overall, but Synapse stability has felt inconsistent recently. I’ve also seen similar discussions from other users in gaming communities regarding resource usage and device detection problems.
