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.

just started doing this to me after the game updated today. Cant make it through a single match. You it locks up your whole computer so you cant use the task manager to kill APEX. I have to reboot my system to recover as well.
