Just after updating to windows version 1903 (May 2019 Update), Synapse 2, according to Task Manager and Resource Manager (and a couple of other tools I use to monitor the processes on my laptop), shows a large amount of CPU usage, from 50% up to 100%, intermittently but constantly). This has been going on for about a week, I sent and email to support, but guess what? I didn't receive an email back. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Before the upgrade Synapse was silent and quiet, now it makes my fans spin...
My specs:
BlackWidow Ultimate, Ouroboros, Kraken 7.1 V2
Intel i7 5500
8GB RAM
I know this is a user forum, not an official support, I just ask if someone else is experiencing the same issues as me...

Yeah unplugging the headset doesn't bring down the CPU for me, I'm running a Deathstalker Chroma keyboard, Naga Epic Chroma mouse and Kraken 7.1 V2 headset which is also chroma
It freezes and hangs when I am trying to select the wheel colors of my Epic Chroma mouse when I am adding a new game's profile and when I am trying to drop down to apply keyboard functions to the buttons. The menu will hang and sometimes won't allow me to select items from the dropdown once it actually populates. Plus the high CPU usage and I do have the headset as well but like the others said I need my razer headset as well pretty much all the time
I only have a problem with CPU usage, when i close synapse 3 while im in the razer chroma studio tab, otherwise everything works fine.

Yes, the headset creates the problem, but I need the b***y Razer headset!
Bad luck.
The less Razer, the less problems.

as far as I found reading all these posts, it's only a problem, when using a Razer headset. Try without headset a a workaround.
Someone can confirm ?

Its not only with 1903, this problem started with 1803 back in October. Look here:

Razer is ignoring us and in consequence we will ignore them in our next purchase.

Oh totally the same issue, it's been pushing my fans to high for about a week, it's been lagging and hanging on menus since going to 1903. I have a 7th gen 7700T but it's still pushing it to full CPU power and about 20-30% at all times 24/7
