Thank you. I did as described above, deleting those entries, but the problem persists. I then ran the Razer Cortex Logs but could not figure out how to pm the file to you.

That is great. Our engineering team willresolve this issue in the next version. Before we resolve, some features may not work normally. such as the featured games in P2E will not be detected correctly.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused you! Thank you for being patient.

This didn’t work for me. NOTHING has worked for me. I have given up.

I’ll launch my Steam games the old fashioned way and keep an eye out for news that Cortex has been unbroken.

I had the same problem for the last week or so. I assume it was a recent windows or razer update.
The initial solve from Michelle worked for me with a caveat:
I first opened Notepadas Admin. Followed the rest of the instructions, but opened the json file from Notepad instead of from the file itself. Deleted the 3 modulesand then saved the file and everything works fine now!

Windows 10

Razer Blade 15 (2020edition)

In my case, after performing the module deletion from the text editor and starting Razer Cortex in Administrator mode, it started working correctly without any fail.

This has been tested on a Razer Book 13.

Hi @tannerellison@Hashand,

Thank you for your feedback. We will resolve this issue in our next version. As you disabled the three modules, some of the features will not run normallybefore our next update.

Nothing here has helped. But I have FIXED the problem for me. I had a un-updated version on a different laptop and I simply copied those files over and now I have Cortex back and working. (I supposed it'lllast as long as I don’t update it.)
