razer central service.exe high cpu

Same here - tried to uninstall and install an older version with no success.The service seems to simply increase the load of the core it runs on to 100%.That doesn’t just mean unnecessary system load, but noticeably increases power consumption and resulting from that ~10°C higher CPU temperature on idle (which means more fan noise too)

Ok, just checked it out: Completely UNINSTALLING Avast (as opposed to just disabling/ pausing it) has the Razer Service running again normal, i.e. on less than 1% processor load - so it seems something in Avast’s latest update is responsible for Razer Service running wild…...at least on my PC that is Thank you ruddytkb

I just go to “Task Manager / right click / End task”. Every time i need to do this 3 times and then the “Razer Central Service (32 bit)” is completely dead. No idea why it always needs 3 times. (first 2 times this process re-runs by itself) First noticed this 1-2 days ago probably when i updated windows to last update. Noticed that every 40 seconds my fans speed up and after a bit speed down again all the time… Then checked Task Manager and saw that process taking 15% of CPU. Using Asus Rog Strix Scar III [Win 10 (all updates), i7 9750H, RTX 2070, 2TB 970 Evo Plus, 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz]  Killing the RazerCentralService should make Razer Synapse configurations not working anymore - so if you don’t want or need to run the customization of your Razor devices but don’t want do plain uninstall the whole software package, you can simply disable the RazerCentralService for good (i.e. making it not start at all on boot): use either the “Run” command or the commandline/ DOS box to launch services

Same her any fix plz CPU:11900K  Seems to be an issue with Anti Virus software - So far AVAST and AVG seem to have issues with the Razer Service and uninstalling them (just disabling AVAST did not suffice) , leaving virus protection to Windows’ Defender should resolve it.

the fact its happening with multiple AV clients tells me its not the AV clients..but rather something in Razor doesn’t like them. At a guess it’s a certain kind of protection at least AVAST (since recently) and AVG (for an unknown time) have implemented, Windows Defender has not.I’m a bit reluctant to blame it entirely on the Razer software here as I know from own experience that at least AVAST has thrown warnings about perfectly legitimate code in the past, especially when the code was “exotic” (i.e. rarely use by other programs) and interacted with certain exotic (often hardware specific) interfaces - it could be either the AV software or Razer or both, but the fact is that the current Razer version seemed to have worked just fine until AVASTs latest update.Doesn’t change the fact that Razer might have to consider changing something if possible at all, unless the AV software distributors change something on their end

I would PREFER other AV software too - but while i have a choice between different AV solutions, the same can not be said about Razer’s software bundle - at least if i want to config my Razer hardware beyond the optical effects.The Color configurations can seemingly mostly be done with OpenRGB, but i’m not aware of any software that can do the other settings like mouse resolution or keyboard macros etc.

  Killing the RazerCentralService should make Razer Synapse configurations not working anymore - so if you don’t want or need to run the customization of your Razor devices but don’t want do plain uninstall the whole software package, you can simply disable the RazerCentralService for good (i.e. making it not start at all on boot):   use either the “Run” command or the commandline/ DOS box to launch services.msc howto services scroll down the list of services and look for “Razer Central Service” Right-Click it and select “Properties” in Properties, change “Startup Type” (from probably “automatic”) to “disabled” that should completely disable the service and prevent the service from starting even after a reboot.   though i’m not sure there is any point i leaving the Razor software package installed when it’s effectively without any functionality anyways. Anyway, for me uninstalling AVAST AntiVirus resolved the issue with RazerCentralService and my Razer devices wor

Razer Central Service 30% CPU Usage always

Another thread with seemingly the same issue: ThreadWhat we found so far: it seems that AV software interferes somehow with the RazerService, i.e. with (in my case) AVAST and (in another user’s case) AVG installed, the service utilizes a complete core of the CPU leading to high CPU load, leading to higher power consumption, CPU temperatures, fan noise… Disabling the AV software didn’t resolve it, while UNINSTALLING (and thus leaving AV protection to Windows’ Defender) DID resolve it, the RazerService utilizes < 1% CPU load again after uninstall. Now it’s everybody’s personal decision to trust to rely on Windows’ Defender as AV solution but for at least some of us it temporarily resolved the high CPU issue - until (i hope) either the AV software and/ or Razer resolves the issue

[...] But one thing that may be worth looking into is configuring exclusions in avast or similar products - that's the route we take in my work when simply removing antivirus isn't an option. Not sure if it would work here  [...]  I doubt that exclusions (or for that matter disabling certain protection options like ransomware and/ or system service protection) will help in the case of AVAST here, when disabling it (the option that other than pause doesn’t re-enable AVAST even after a reboot) didn’t resolve the issue.I guess that whatever mechanism/ background task AVAST (and probably AVG too) uses to hook themselves into the system to monitor suspicious activities interferes with other processes like RazerService even if inactive and only a complete removal seems to work.Like whatever monitoring code they installed there interferes even if AVAST itself doesn’t actively use it. But all of this is Wild Ass Guessing of mine only. Let’s just hope that Razer will find a way around these is

its not the antivirus...user reports include commentary on avast, avg etc. this tells us its not the blooming antivirus.   edit: it really gets to me when someone spreads misinformation..if avast or avg et al were the cause, there’d be processes for those freaking out as well, which has been seen in the past with those programs, for causes COMPLETELY unrelated to the problem at hand.  I can only refer to my very own experience: the current Razor software worked as usual (with all its quirks and annoyances) until I updated the AVAST engine - the high CPU load of RazerService started immediately after the reboot following the AVAST update. Completely uninstalling the current Razor software and installing older versions did not resolve the issue, uninstalling AVAST did resolve it. I  didn’t personally try AVG as substitute for AVAST but have no reason to disbelieve the user in the other thread that reported that after he uninstalled AVAST his problems were gone too, but reappeared when h

Hi, absolutely same issue today after updating Avast, no point going in details. Is there any solution yet from Razer? I killed the service from starting u at the moment (set to manual) as its absolutely insane to think I’ll uninstal paid for AV solution in favour of periferials! I think I’m swaping to Logitech after this, I never had ANY issue before I swapped to Razer. I’m kinda dissapointed.   Regards.  That decision would of course be up to to, but I don’t entirely get it: for you (and me and a couple of others here) the problem didn’t start with any changes of the Razer software, but with updating the AVAST engine.I had updated the Razer software several days before I updated the AVAST engine, and until that AVAST update RazerService worked as well (or as badly, depending on your personal opinion) as usual with no unusual issues.I noticed the issues directly after rebooting after the AVAST update.While that doesn’t imply that Razer’s isn’t at fault at all, it implies AVAST is at

Update: was running RazerSynapse  v3.8.0228.022311 without AVAST (to fix the high CPU issue)Updated to v3.8.0228.022313 using the update option inside Synapse...which immediately reduced the CPU load of WmiPrvSE (Windows WMI Provider Host service, another background service that showed higher CPU load recently, most likely due to Synapse).Installed AVAST again.Everything’s fine, both Razer background services and WmiPrvSE run with very low CPU load - seems Razer has fixed it for the time being It might be, that you currently can’t download the ..13 version from the Razer website yet as some reported they still got the old ..11 version, but for me there were no issues updating from inside the running Synapse. Thank you Razer

I downloaded the just released version..and immediately the cpu utilization went up, and the installer hung at 100% completion but didn’t actually properly FINISH installing. uninstall saw the same result. Not knowing your system setup makes this total guessing: if you had/ have AVAST as well as the previous Synapse version running, the problem might be due to the install process of the new version not succeeding because it can’t stop the currently running RazerService.If that’s the case you might try to either kill the RazerService using the task manager or use windows services manager to set RazerService startup type from automatic to manual and reboot (the latter should make the service not starting after the reboot) and try to install the Razer Synapse again. Again that’s all just wild a** guessing, but I noticed that when I had issues with the RazerService I couldn’t just stop the service with the Windows Services Management - I had to set the startup to manual and reboot.…and wh
