Razer Synapse is hardware configuration software with which its users can configure Razer peripherals, but many users reported that Razer Synapse isn’t opening.

These issues aren’t exclusive to Windows 10, and many reported that Razer Synapse failed to install in Windows 11 too.

And in today’s article, we’re going to address these problems once and for all, so read on!

Why is Razer Synapse not opening?

It can happen because of your Windows Firewall, or simply because the application’s files might have become corrupted.

Other expired Razer processes, as well as various third-party applications, could also get in the way of your Razer Synapse not working.

According to users, they experienced unexpected errors in Razer Synapse, among other issues, such as:

  • Razer Synapse not loading profile/not switching profiles: This can happen if your profile is corrupted. The best course of action would be to to recreate the damaged profile.
  • Razer Synapse not loading opening on startup: The issue is most likely caused by your settings, so be sure to adjust them.
  • Razer Synapse not working in-game: It’s possible that the game doesn’t fully support Synapse. Updating both the game and software should help.
  • Razer Synapse not working after update: A bad update can cause this problem, so reinstalling the software should help.
  • Razer Synapse not downloading from website: If this happens, check your antivirus settings and make sure the download isn’t blocked.
  • Razer Synapse not showing devices: Updating or reinstalling the driver, or installing the latest version of Razer Synapse fixed things for many.
  • Razer Synapse not detecting mouse and keyboard: This particular problem is quite common, and reinstalling Razer Synapse did the trick.

Does Razer Synapse reduce performance?

Some people say that experience reduced performance after installing and using Razer Synapse, while others say everything is absolutely fine.

To tell the truth, the software is a little more resource-hungrier than you might expect, but it shouldn’t really cause performance issues.

However, if it does, just uninstall it and continue gaming at optimal performance, enhancing and improving your experience.

What can I do if Razer Synapse is not opening?

  1. Reinstall Razer Synapse and Razer device drivers
  2. Don’t install Razer Surround with Synapse
  3. Install the latest Microsoft .NET Framework
  4. Turn off third-party antivirus/ Windows Defender Firewall
  5. Close Razer processes
  6. Check for Windows updates

1. Reinstall Razer Synapse and Razer device drivers

  1. Right-click the Start button, and select the Device Manager to open the window in the snapshot directly below.
    윈도우 11 레이저 시냅스 - windou 11 leijeo sinaebseu
  2. Double-click the Mice and other pointing devices, Keyboards and Human Interface Devices categories on the Device Manager window.

  3. Right-click all the Razer devices listed in those categories, and select the Uninstall device options on their context menus.

  5. Press the Uninstall button to confirm.

  6. Unplug all the connected Razer devices for a few minutes.
  7. Then restart your desktop or laptop.
  8. Plug the Razer devices back in after restarting Windows. Windows will automatically reinstall the drivers for the devices.
  9. Download the latest Razer Synapse software. Then reinstall Razer Synapse with its setup wizard.

If Synapse 3 or X won’t open on your PC, the issue might be related to Razer device drivers. Thus, reinstalling both Razer device drivers and the Synapse software can fix the problem.

Make sure you have the most up-to-date versions of your drivers. There are third-party programs that can do this for you automatically, such as DriverFix, which can detect and repair any outdated drivers.

This tool has a huge daily-updated driver database, so it will suggest the most recent drivers available after scanning your system. If you believe it is a tedious task to do this manually, try DriverFix and give us feedback.

3. Install the latest Microsoft .NET Framework

NET Framework is a system requirement for Razer Synapse, and if NET Framework isn’t installed, Razer Synapse 3 might not be opening.

If an older .NET Framework version is already installed, you might need to install the latest .NET Framework for Synapse 3.0.

Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken.
We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

Download the setup wizard for the latest .NET Framework version. Then you can open the installer to add the latest .NET Framework to Windows.

4. Turn off third-party antivirus/ Windows Defender Firewall

  1. Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut.
  2. Enter firewall.cpl in Run, and press the OK button. That will open the Windows Defender Firewall Control Panel applet.
    윈도우 11 레이저 시냅스 - windou 11 leijeo sinaebseu
  3. Click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.
    윈도우 11 레이저 시냅스 - windou 11 leijeo sinaebseu
  4. Then select both the Turn off Windows Defender Firewall radio buttons, and click the OK button.

Third-party antivirus software and the Windows Defender Firewall can also cause Razer Synapse freezing and other issues. So turning third-party antivirus utilities and the Windows Defender Firewall off might also fix Razer Synapse.

You can temporarily disable most third-party antivirus utilities by selecting disable options on their system tray icon context menus. Follow the guidelines above to turn off the Windows Defender Firewall.

Alternatively, you can consider using an antivirus with firewall to avoid these types of issues.

5. Close Razer processes

  1. Right-click the Taskbar, and select Task Manager.
    윈도우 11 레이저 시냅스 - windou 11 leijeo sinaebseu
  2. Then select any Razer processes listed under background processes, and click End task to close them.
    윈도우 11 레이저 시냅스 - windou 11 leijeo sinaebseu
  3. Thereafter, close the Task Manager and run Synapse as an administrator.

Some Synapse users have confirmed that closing Razer processes before opening Synapse 3.0 can help if Razer Synapse is not working. To do that, just follow the above steps.

If you’re having problems with Razer Synapse on the latest version of Windows, you’ll be pleased to hear that all the solutions from this guide can be applied to Windows 11.

The two operating systems share many similarities, so the solutions are universal and they will work on both systems, with some minor alternations.

Those are some of the resolutions that will probably fix Razer Synapse when it doesn’t open. This isn’t the only issue, and many reported that Razer Synapse won’t change lighting, but there’s a way to fix that.

Can I use Razer products without Synapse?

Keep in mind that basically all devices that have at least 4 onboard memory profiles are able to store macros on the onboard memory, but it’s still done only via Synapse.

Thus, on devices such as the Huntsman TKL you’ll be able to save macros into the keyboard, then use your macros on other PC without Synapse.

The first and most efficient solution we can offer is to completely uninstall the software and reinstall it afterward.

Please refer to the guide above for everything you need to know about acting properly in such a situation, ensuring that you get to the bottom of it.

If app files become corrupted, your Razer Synapse won’t start on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, so keep that in mind.
