Razer Synapse Failed to Start


I've had this issue for the last month. I haven't had issues with Cortex. I haven't had any major OS updates. The app was working after the minor updates. I use the black widow elite so I'd like some access to the RGB personalisation but I cant due to this. Help.

J'ai eu ce problème le mois dernier. Je n'ai pas eu de problèmes avec Cortex. Je n'ai pas eu de mises à jour majeures du système d'exploitation. L'application fonctionnait après les mises à jour mineures. J'utilise l'élite de la veuve noire, donc j'aimerais avoir accès à la personnalisation RVB, mais je ne peux pas à cause de cela. Aider.
hi, sorry for my english i'm french. I solved the problem on my end. First, uninstall all of Razer, and delete the files on your c drive (ALL files and even hidden ones). Then connect to your personal space on the internet. When it's done install its first: https://www2.razer.com/au-en/synapse-2 Connect yourself. When it's done reinstall synapse 3: https://www.razer.com/synapse-3 Tell me if it worked for you? Hope to have helped you ...

Didnt work

I'm having this issue as well. i tried the same method as what Phuriosa suggested and didn't work

same problem from months ago, and I got a razer laptop, I even cant uninstall synapse.

Alright boys and girls. I fixed it. Yeah you read that right I fixed this app. I uninstalled the app and then restarted my computer. I then restarted my pc in safe mode. To do that, just hold shift and press restart in your windows. This will then take you to a different screen after it reboots. Click troubleshoot > advanced settings/options. then click restart now. press F4 to launch into safe mode. Then restart again and reinstall the app. AND IT WORKED. That's my fix - you guys can let me know if it works for you.

Dude totally worked! Don't know what happened or what magic this is; but you saved me hours [and all my profiles/chroma settings]!
