Hi everyone,
Since few days I have a problem with razer central service process. This process use I mean too much of CPU, something around 12% and CPU temperature is to high +/- 45 degrees (normaly I have something about 33)… all in idle. I did windows update rollback - nothing, Razer software reinstalled - nothing.
Maybe someone know, what I can do? this is really annoying…
Hi everyone,
Got same issue, CPU runs up to 30% ! I’ve tried to downgrade Razer Synapse to 7.5 version, but it did’nt solve the trouble.
PLEASE RAZER, FIX this with a optimized update !
I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing idle temps above 70C after seeing my CPU temps on idle spike in the past few days and it seems I’m not the only one. Razer software has been hot garbage for a while now. Its usually the cause of high CPU utilization and high temperatures and has been a tug o’ war for as long as I can remember.
My build : 5950x undervolted and cooled on NZXT 360mm AIO.
Idle temps on CCD1 BEFORE uninstalling Razer Central: 72-74C.
Idle temps on CCD1 AFTER uninstalling Razer Central: <40C.
MASSIVE difference.
Because of this unresolved software problem, I’m selling off all my Razer peripherals and leaving Razer for good. This type of headache is not worth it anymore. Who cares if the hardware looks nice if the software is complete trash?? Its not the first time this has been an issue. I keep lying to myself thinking they’ll solve it in the future but enough is enough. I’ll stick with Logitech, Glorious and other MFG’s that don’t have this software issue.
Same issue since new update.
PLEASE FIX!!!
same issue till fix i’m switching back to logitech devices
Come on, we didn’t bought Razer mouses and keyboards just because they look cool. We bought this expensive things because we use macros and profiles to different games.
What’s the point of this, if we need to disable Razer Central Service ? Better find some cheap mouse…
And I’m using Avast since like...15 years, so I would prefer to keep it too...
Still no fix
Yep same here had to uninstall all the software…. :(
would be nice to see Razer let us know what’s going on about it?
I keep submitting the msinfo file support is asking for, but they seem to have an issue READING file names, and insisting its not the msinfo file. I’m ready to dump the contents of the file into my next emailed response...
Same here. Even the Exit all apps does nothing. The Razer Central Service is still running and consuming 18-20% of my CPU. Please fix ASAP!
its NOT the antivirus. there are other users reporting this problem who have completely different antivirus programs. theres a guy on one of these threads who reported he has avg, another indicated they’re using -shudders- mcafee.
Found this workaround from Avast forum. It worked for me. Better than uninstalling either one of software. This wars3.exe runs in background.

Thank you, it worked for me
i will not Using any Random.exe to fix any problem ;) who tell me its not a Virus or something ?

Why has Razer still not fixed the Synapse high CPU issue??!!!…
Come on razer programers team, make our experience better again, let’s spent your precious time to improve your codes and release a good update to fix this !… ;) PLZ
Soltuion = uninstall the peiece of shit software
Same problem!
I’ve actually had to outright uninstall the program as this high usage is interfering with other programs(eg kerbal space program 1)
Same problem here. Even if I turn off the startup of Synapse and Cortex, this Central Service starts itself.
I have a 5900x, it consumes only 6% but temeperatures rise above 73-75 °C. When terminated goes back to 50 °C.
Pls fix it, I love razer mice but this is very frustrating.
Same issue here. I usually idle around 45/50 but with this issue it now sits around 75/80 idle.
I only noticed this last night when playing MW2 and saw my temps hitting 90/91 before my pc crashed. Stopping the service fixes the temp issue, but it just causes instability with the peripherals, which just adds to the frustration. Eventually you can get a bit of stability but it takes some tinkering about until razers software decides to cooperate.
How this version ever made it to production is mind boggling.
FIXED!
I just receive email from Razer, they make new version which fix this issue, but not available for download via the faulty synapse already installed. [mine freezes when was trying to check for updates]
you must download and update it manually.

0% cpu usage now!
[also i use Avast]
Ok, just checked it out: Completely UNINSTALLING Avast (as opposed to just disabling/ pausing it) has the Razer Service running again normal, i.e. on less than 1% processor load - so it seems something in Avast’s latest update is responsible for Razer Service running wild…
...at least on my PC that is
Thank you ruddytkb
Ok just did the same and uninstalled Avast and all’s normal now….
I hope with all this info they can find a fix so i can reinstall it again soon.
Thanks for the info guys :)
Update: was running RazerSynapse v3.8.0228.022311 without AVAST (to fix the high CPU issue)
Updated to v3.8.0228.022313 using the update option inside Synapse
...which immediately reduced the CPU load of WmiPrvSE (Windows WMI Provider Host service, another background service that showed higher CPU load recently, most likely due to Synapse).
Installed AVAST again.
Everything’s fine, both Razer background services and WmiPrvSE run with very low CPU load - seems Razer has fixed it for the time being
It might be, that you currently can’t download the ..13 version from the Razer website yet as some reported they still got the old ..11 version, but for me there were no issues updating from inside the running Synapse.
Thank you Razer
i too uninstalled synapse until fix

How do you use that ?
Download the file from second URL. Extract and run it. (Scan it through you AV before running if you have trust issues😉)
Program will show under your system tray icon, it will run in background. You can set it to windows startup until Razer and AV solve this issue.
If you wanna see code of this program then go to Github URL.
I confirm the wars3 workaround works like a charm for me!
I have Avast as well but I’m not removing it.
Thanks!!!

Actually I was surprised to see so few code to fix it. As far as I understand the idea - it works like multiplexor between Avast process and razer process. The code looks as it does not have any virus-like code. You can compile it from source, the source has <40 lines of code to review and small portion of boilerplate code.
If my understanding is correct the drawback may be temporal disabling of antivirus? However I have not seen any manipulation with avast processes. I am not a system level software developer to be sure of it, so if anyone has an experience related to system Windows software developing, please, review what this tiny thing actually do
