Good news guys.. Seems the issue has been resolved. I didn’t do anything (I guess is auto update?) and the CPU high usage is gone.. Sharing my support update on this issue and the working version of Synapse (3.8.0228.022313).

Where can you download this update?
I tried Check for Update from within Synapse. I also tried to manually download from https://www.razer.com/synapse-3
Both places are still on old version.
No new version found when I check for update.
In addition to check for update, I have explicitly turned on auto update, it does not detect any new version.
I then re-downloaded the installer and re-install Synapse 3 again, it is still the old CPU hogging version.
I was able to install the new update. (right clicked Synapse icon and clicked Check for Updates)
CPU usage is back to normal.

Can you disclose which country you are in? I’ll try VPN to see whether it makes any difference.

Same, no new version. I am in Italy
I didn't really download the so call new update. This are the software versions that I am currently using. It seems got to do with Razer side (not very sure).

You are still on the old CPU hogging version 3.8.209.20311 Synapse
It seems only a handful of people managed to get this not-yet-public update.
I tried check for updates (nothing), tried installing again with latest installer (nothing).
Razer support said this is being rolled out region by region. I have tried VPN to Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, USA, and still am not able to pick up this update.
Thanks to info from Peter8UK
The actual installer RazerSynapseInstaller_V1.12.0.385 is the same everywhere in the world. I did “fc /b” compare on different files, and they are all the same.
Whether it is https://www.razer.com/gb-en/synapse-3 or https://www.razer.com/hk-en/synapse-3 or https://www.razer.com/us-en/synapse-3
The key is, before you run the installer, you need to be a UK IP address, then it will go download the new version. Maybe only the UK server is hosting the new version at the moment.
I VPN to UK before running the installer, and it picked up the new version.
Try check for updates again guys. I just updated it with the latest version.
still no update.
It seems both Razer Central and Razer Synapse are now updated.
Razer Central 7.9.1.485
Razer Synapse 3.8.228.22313
and its fully functional on my end as well.
Happy to report the issue has been resolved for me as well.
It didn’t fixed anything for me. In fact, it can’t even being uptdated lol. I tried checking updates, did nothing, uninstalled and tried the web installer, get stucks at 100% always while the Game Central still consuming 31% of CPU xD
uninstall antivirus if using avast/avg etc. reboot pc. install synapse 3. reinstall antivirus. in that order.
Finally updated Synapse, but whenever I chose the headphones output (THX Spatial or the Razer Audio Controller) basically some things that are running in the PC at the same time starts to stutter or malfunctioning, and if I directly chose other output (like the normal jack without the THX thing) it works perfectly, that’s weird AF
I don’t use the THX thing a lot because basically are no games compatible yet, but I like the Equalizer config I have, but I can’t use it because the “THX USB Thing output” breaks the PC performance lol.
PS: It didn’t happen before “that” update, played games with my EQ config without problems, but now, I can’t, sadge
a year later, no fix. A YEAR. what is going on?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
