Apex Crashes Whole PC
My Apex keeps freezing and crashes my whole pc! I haven't had this problem before, it started a few days ago, here are the details: when it freezes, it wont unfreeze, if I go to my taskbar, i can cli...
This started happening to me today as well. I've had 2 ranked games where Apex froze and the PC appears unresponsive.
You should be able to regain access to the rest of the PC if you have multiple desktops:
1. Make sure you have the "task view" icon on the toolbar
2. Click "task view" icon and go to "Desktop 2" or any other available desktop
3. Right-click toolbar and select "Task manager"
4. Kill Apex
5. Go back to your main Desktop using the task view
This won't stop Apex crashing but will at least avoid you needing to restart on occasions where Apex crashes and prevents you from accessing other apps.
Thank you for this, I know it isn't a sure fix but my apex is quick to load, so this helps!
Quick note, i have now tried this but like the taskbar when i try to close it the button is unresponsive. Thanks for the idea though.
