Razer Synapse not switching profiles for some (major) apps

The latest Synapse update (I had one yesterday I think) disabled the automatic profile switch for some applications. The profiles do not switch automatically for Google Chrome or VSCode, but they do work for others like Visual Studio or some games.
I tried everything that was suggested in some support threads regarding the faulty profiles switch (there are lots of them apparently, meaning Synapse is quite buggy).

Razer, please debug the latest release or give me a link to an older version of Synapse 4.

I just had a Synapse update, and my profiles are not switching automatically for some software. They are not switching for Google Chrome or VSCode, but they do work for others like Visual Studio or some games.
I tried everything. Resetting everything, reinstalling Synapse… nothing works.

Razer, please debug the latest release or give me a link to an older version of Synapse 4.

I juste tried it on my second computer, I get the same result : Synapse is not switching profiles any more for some apps (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, ...) but it works for other apps.
