Solutions to fix 'Razer Synapse not Working'.
1.1 Uninstall Razer Synapse completely.
This is the very common solution for problems like software isn't launching. Are you still using Razer Synapse 1, and suddenly start facing problems?. Then, you need to update this tool with the 2nd version of it. Though, Razer Synapse 3 available, but as I mentioned it is in beta. That's why I don't suggest to download that version. Razer removed support from Synapse 1. That is the reason behind, products aren't showing in the tool.
To uninstall the Razer Synapse Completly, follow these instructions.
1. Open Control Panel, Click on 'Uninstall a Program'. (Check in Programs section)
Alternatively, you can jump directly into Uninstall Window.
- Press Windows + R key simultaneously. In run Window, type appwiz.cpl and press enter.
2. Locate 'Razer Synapse' from the list, and then right-click on it to uninstall.

Before reinstalling the latest version Razer Synapse, you need to first uninstall all connected Razer devices. Else 'Razer Synapse not working' problem will occur again. To uninstall all Razer devices, follow this guide.

Almost all latest developed Windows Program uses .NET framework. 'Razer Synapse' also uses it. Though, (dot) NET framework might already installed on your Computer.

And, due to the old version of the framework, users face problems like 'Razer Synapse won't open'.

1.4 Disable Windows Firewall and Antivirus.
This is the last step before we start installing 'Razer Synapse'. Microsoft is trying to make Windows secure. And, sometimes windows defender firewall block some files of software while installing. And, it might be the main reason behind 'Razer Synapse not working'. So, all you need to do is 'Turn off Windows Defender Firewall'.
I have already written a guide of 'Windows 10 firewall settings'. So, you can read this guide to disable Windows firewall temporary. And, don't forget to turn it back on after installation process gets complete. Apart from Windows firewall, antivirus program also blocks software installation. So, I suggest you turn off 'real-time protection'.
1.5 Install the latest version of Razer Synapse.
After uninstalling Razer Synapse, and installing Microsoft (dot)NET framework. Now, you can download and install 'Razer Synapse' from the official website. Though, the software will get auto-installed after connecting any Razer device. But, still, I suggest you install it manually. Then, first try to open it, don't connect device now.
Once, software gets open properly, you can connect your all Razer devices. And, hopefully, now the problem will get resolved. And, If the device is not showing, then simply restart your Computer once. Also, check in device manager that, all drivers are properly installed or not. If any driver is showing yellow mark, then right click on it to update driver.
2. Launch Razer Synapse from notification tray.
With the latest version of Razer Synapse, I had faced another problem. After launching Razer Synapse, instead of showing the dashboard of software. Software icon just showing in System Tray. So, if Razer Synapse not launching, then you need to open it from system tray icon.
Method: 1 Click on Razer icon from notification tray then click on 'Launch Synapse' button. (I had to click 4 times to launch it.)
Method: 2 Right Click on that icon, and then click on 'Razer Synapse'.
