2023 Blade 14 - Battery Life - Joke?

The only thing I really had to do was allow the refresh rate to drop to 60hz on battery, otherwise if you’re getting poor battery life it’s very much likely related to running processes.  Things like hardware/temperature monitoring or applications like MSI afterburner do not allow for proper CPU power saving and will destroy battery life.  Turn these things off when seeking long battery life.  That said, I don’t get 10hrs by any means,  usually 6-7hrs max.  This is in contrast to the supposedly less power efficient 2021 blade 14, with a smaller battery capacity - that constantly netted 10-12hrs of battery life, even with the screen refresh rate set to 165hz.  I miss the battery life of that laptop.  Hoping some software/windows updates in the future help push this laptop to true 10-12hr battery life - the specs suggest it is possible, but the 2023 battery life is no where near as good as 2021 for me.

Synapse Crashes every start of 2023 Blade 14

After a long back and forth with Razer support I kind of just got a “we’re not sure try reinstalling windows again” response.  I went back to the drawing board on diagnosing the problem and thought more about the fact that this issue doesn’t happen on restart, only on a cold boot.  That’s what lead me to the solution - disabling fast startup.whether or not you have this issue probably depends on a few things, but I am on the very latest updates for win 11, on the latest 2023 blade 14 firmware/bios, and have 64gb RAM.  Something about this combination is causing an issue when using “fast startup”, as disabling it fixes the problem entirely.  Also with my SK Hynix P41 NVME drive there is no difference in boot time with this disabled.  Unfortunately wasted a lot of time trying to fix what wasn’t broken with this (clean reinstalling everything multiple times, digging through logs, memory dumps, etc.)  This was the simple solution.  Hopefully it helps others facing this issue who don’t have

Contact with Razer support, run DISM and SFC seems solved the issue. Glad you got it fixed - the same does not work to resolve the issue for me.

Glad to hear it's not just me. I did a lot of diag on this and realized that part of the universal c runtime dll on win 11 is always the system version, not from a redistributable - so tracked back to when that dll was last modified and tried reverting the windows updates that affected that dll. This did not fix the issue which makes sense because I believe the onset coincided with a synapse update. I'm 99% sure it's a bug in the synapse software. If razer gave me the sources to run locally I'd debug and fix it.
