Re: Fix Error Code 0x8000002

No, it's not. You're so far the only one to respond. Yay.

Assuming you have the same problem, I managed to fix it by turning off the Calculator and something called Game Bar over the task manager. I have to do this every single time.

No help from anyone, of course. Great customer support for breaking their own game.

@cnsnnt  Apologies for being late.

For the calculator and Game Bar, these shouldn't be interfering with Apex. Since they are, try resetting (or repairing) both of these apps and make sure both of these apps aren't automatically running when the PC starts up.

To reinstall/repair a Windows app:

- Open the search bar and type in the app's name.

- Right click and select, "App Settings".

- Scroll down the app's settings page until you find the option to reset and repair, and select the one or both options.

To turn off most startup apps:

- Open the search bar and type "startup apps"

- Select the settings option that appears

- Turn off the app that you don't want starting up

If the app isn't listed, check in the settings within the app itself.

Note: The Game Bar is part of the Xbox app that every Windows PC has installed.

Considering that these programs aren't preventing Apex from running on my PC, you might have corrupted system files, (which can happen for no real reason).

To repair your system's files:

- Open the Command Prompt in administrator mode

- Type, "DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" (without the quotes), and wait for it to finish.

Note: DISM stands for "Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool". It often repairs Microsoft related files, such as issues with Window apps. Some problems with the next file checker can only be fixed after running this one first.

- Now type, "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes), and wait for it to finish.

Note: sfc stands for "System File Checker". This one will repair system files, (such as important Windows drivers).

- Lastly, restart your PC.

For a similar error, (Error Code 0x8000001), others had said that the following fixes had helped them:
 
- Changing your graphics settings in the system settings:

- Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics > Change Apex Legends' graphics.
 
Note: If you use the AMD Adrenalin software, try reinstalling the program as well.

how to fix bad ware detected error code 0x8000002 i have no DS4,reWASD no third person software install i think EAC is falsely blocking a legitimate program that i cant pinpoint .DO u have a idea how i cant find that program plz help.

I Tried all of that still not working but I think it's a specific software or program that eac has falsely flagged.

Ok I have ended the program usermode front driver host I don't get the error code any more but the game starts and crash

Same to me, just before S23 update, i can play normally, after the update, i got this error.
I dont have DS4, AHK or reWASD,... check process tree 100 times, can't find any service that mark as badware from Apex.
Pls dev, at least tell us which process is cause of the issue.

Yep same season 23 broke my game man every update that's the error code I'm getting 0x8000002 I try all that I know and look up nothing is working leave it to apex to brake there own game

@Ticketplzz47  Outside of things like file repairs and stopping/removing programs, I'm not sure what's causing the issue.

I suggest contacting EA Support at help.ea if you haven't already.

If you're on Linux, Respawn had removed the ability to play Apex on a Linux OS.

Ok so that means must gonna be a new patch note then will see if they fix it. I am still trying to fix mine I almost delete all my apps and some programs still not luck

Fix yet? The support chats are utterly useless.
