RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Razer Cortex) could share the same RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Razer Cortex is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll.

Your RazerCortex.Services.Defrag.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Razer Cortex), or deleted by a malware infection.
