Nope, no dice. Back up to 50%. It's not doing nothing. >.>
The problem (at least for my case) is, that it doesnt reven have to do with synapse 2/3 itself but with this freaking gamemanagerservice. Which I personaly never use and never will. And you cant even disable it.
GameManagerService IS part of Synapse, and yes it's due to something faulting repetitively. Here is a screenshot of the Event Viewer showing exactly that happening while activating WMI provider host. This is DAMAGING CPUs.

CPUs ain't cheap, and being able to prove it's their software causing the degrading hardware doesn't bode well for them.

Oh that is why, they were working on a toaster....
Omg literally the same problem happens to me too every since I bought Razer Electra V2 USB very recently.
And checking back the old messages here It seems that they do not fix this for more than half a year!!!
THIS IS CRAZY literally paying for something you can't use It In the way It should..
Also try going Into games with synapse ON eating your CPU your PC will literally freeze very fast and you will need to restart It everytime to use It again.

Let us wait for the windows 10 feature update 1903 coming this month. High chance of this being fixed through that. In the meantime we can spit on the people responsible for what is happening
I'm having the same issue, I've recently purchased the razer nari ultimate, turret xbox edition (mouise and keyboard) and I had a tartarus 2 already. I'm getting mu PCU fully consumed by razer synapse? are you kidding me?
I have a 9900k @ 5.1Ghz with a RTX2080ti. Are you seriusly telling me that a wireless keyboard will bottleneck my system?
I cant believe they answer this to you. These people is completely unreliably.

sell those products with shitty drivers and buy from competitors - game without problems !
I just bought this headset a week ago and just noticed the INSANE CPU load it causes under Razer Synapse, and I'm really starting to regret my purchase, because there doesn't seem to be any chance of it getting fixed at all.
It's my fault. I should've researched more before buying a defective product.

Help what? Razer Synapse 2.0 have Bass Boost, and 7.1 if u kill the process You dont have this. Sorry for English.
This solved the problem with Synapse3 killing the CPU with Windows 10 WMI exceptions. The important step is to do the reinstall with "run as administrator".

Unfortunately, this does not work with Synapse 2, which is the software required for the Electra V2 headset.
Yes, so much to how all these "experts" here, can help.

The only other things I did differently:
1. Put my firewall in learning mode: I have Tinywall sitting on Windows Firewall
2. Moved my Razer devices from a USB hub to direct USB 3.0 ports. Windows picked up different drivers for the devices.
But I may have been solving a totally different issue: GameManagerService was calling WMI and throwing a lot of errors in Windows event log under: Event Viewer-> Applications and Services Log -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WMI-Activity -> Operations

Yes. The Snoopy solution is always an option.

Yes, but in this case it's like
fight windmills
to fight imaginary evils or opponents
from Don Quixote's charging at windmills under the delusion that they were giants
So will this ever be fixed, or looked at, or even acknowledged? It's extremely frustrating that I bought a product and can't use it because of shitty drivers.
How to update?
