Windows driver foundation 100% cpu usage when using razer synapse 2.0

Hello guys! Same for me...any idea on what to do?

TEMPONARY FIX:

Take the administrator of "WUDFHost.exe" and rename it WUDFHost.exe.old

Right - and thus we screwed up ALL of our system drivers updates.... just to make this puny headset to work'ish ..... Not that i do not appreciate the feedback from the community .. and the "bad ass" fixes we find to fix YOUR crap problems Razer .... But going this far.. Literally screwing up our OS's just for a cheap headset... This is just plain stupid... and a CLEAR statement from your company... Making fun of us all and our money.

This is 06.02.2019 Razer. No response.. no fix yet. Thank you for the last Synapse 3.0 update that nobody asked for tho...

Meanwhile i found some delightful reviews on some Logitech headsets... THAT WORK properly also.

Just take a hint. Really ...

I have contacted Razer support and they have confirmed that a driver compatibility update is being worked on. It should take some more time before the update is released.

Thank you eiad999 for your post here. Hope it will get fixed soon... this year at least.. So tired of unplugging and plugging my headset every 2 hours or so. Would be lovely ....

You are working on it .. right Razer? :S

Hi guys. I have had the exact same issue and it was driving me crazy! Here is a workaround for the problem until Razer finally fixes it:

1) Plug in your Razer Electra v2 USB. It will show up correctly in Razer Synapse 2.
2) Go to Device Manager
2) Go to Human Interface Devices
3) There are going to be several USB Input Devices. Find out which one is the Electra v2 Headset. I unplugged and replugged the headset and checked the serial under "Properties"
4) Rightclick and disable the Electra V2 USB Input Device.
5) Reboot

Important: Don't disable the Razer Headset under any other category in Device Manager.

After this the headset will still be functional and shows up correctly under Sound Devices. However, it will not be displayed in the Synapse 2 software.

I hope this helps you!

Without the Razer Synapse this headset is a piece of ... the mic is terrible if I can't reach the synapse settings and also we lose the virtual 7.1 and this was the main reason why I selected this headset

Unplug your Electra V2 USB;
Install IOBit Unlocker;
Rename "WUDFHost.exe" to "WUDFHost.exe.OLD"
Restart the PC;
Reconect our Electra V2 USB
Done.
Works for me.

My case has been escalated... Logs, screenshots etc. sent. Will post when I get some feedback.

dropping in to say i also have this incredibly annoying problem! my Electra v2 works fine and there's no high CPU usage when Synapse is closed but then i can't use the 7.1 so what's even the point of having the headset??
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

@Razer - Kind fucking reminder!

I have a same problemy :(

Hello Razer? Are u gonna do something? it's been like 3/4 months now...
