I've been running SFC /scannow and DISM on occasions.

My PC has no issues, yet Apex still needs to be reinstalled any time there's an Nvidia driver update.

Today there was a new Nvidia driver update...

Ran SFC /scannow... No issues.

Installed update.

Restarted PC.

Played Apex.... choppy. Low FPS. High CPU usage.

Ran sfc /scannow... No issues.

Reinstalling Apex Legends now.

Hey @BeerGogglesFTW I updated my Nvidia drivers this morning and when I saw your post-tested APEX, not seeing any issues with it and playing fine.

Try the new Windows admin account if you see the issue again and let me know how you get on.
