@EA_David
I have the same issue here that just started happening within the past few days.
The only recent significant changes are Windows 11 KB5020044 update and Nvidia driver 527.37.
I tried reverting to 526.98 but the problem still occurs so doesn't seem to be due to the latest driver.
This is crazy be cause I have a 13900K and logical core 1 (2nd thread on core 0) is stuck at 100% causing my fans to go nuts and temperatures to shoot up.
After exiting the game, r5apex.exe is stuck running and I can't even kill the task. I literally have to restart my PC. And of course, Steam thinks the game is still running too.
I've stopped playing this stupid game because of it.
Others have posted about this too and mention EAC could be the culprit:

Dude...how did you find out this was the issue? Who would have thought NCP settings. Previously everything was fine.
What change? Admin can pin this up. It works. I played more than an hour, the core 1 was normal..it didn't goes up at all.
Thanks man!
Hmm, I played for a couple hours with FXAA on and haven't run into the issue yet.
But after disabling FXAA, I haven't run into the issue yet either so maybe EAC or Respawn fixed something (e.g., related to the Apex Wintertide event)
Thanks anyway!
