Hello,There seems to be an issue with Synapse 4.After rebooting the PC, the Synapse tray icon shows that no devices are connected.However, once I manually launch Synapse, the devices appear in the tray and everything syncs properly.I've already tried a clean installation.Even after formatting the PC, the same issue persists.What could be causing this to suddenly happen? synapse4 ver 4.0.86.2508050339

I found a fix that works for now BUT it requires modifying the registry…proceed at your own riskOpen regedit as administrator and navigate to the following location: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runthere should be an entry for “RazerAppEngine” witha string like ["C:\Program Files\Razer\RazerAppEngine\RazerAppEngine.exe" --url-params=apps=synapse --launch-force-hidden=synapse --autoStart=1]Create a NEW string in this location call it RazerFixEnter the string ["C:\Program Files\Razer\RazerAppEngine\RazerAppEngine.exe" --url-params=apps=synapse --launch-force-hidden=synapse] (no brackets[])Open Synapse go to settingsand turn OFF run at startup completely, the new string will do it for yourestart and see if it workedIf this doesn’t work for you you can just delete the key you created and no harm will be done.I don’t really know why this works but I suspect the “--autoStart=1”stops synapse for loading properly.I hope this helps!I had the same issue and your workaround really works! Although I had to delete the previous Razerappengine Entry in registry (because it autostarted all the razer apps) and leave only yours razerFix entry. This work as the application itself should. I wonder (!), is it so hard to implement this easy fix in an update?Anyway thanks for the tip! ;-)
