I might have come to a solution which is:

I updated drivers for my motherboard in BIOs and after that I reset the whole BIOs whith pressing the CMOS button on the motherboard and I have an ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard.

For now Apex runs smooth and as it should run without CPU being on 100% usage!

4-core processor ?

I fixed my stuttering issues by lowering my screen refresh rate to 100Hz, works fine for me and others

@T0toro21Yes, 4-core. The thing is I've played like this since day one of Apex (release day). Same setup today as then and no resent patches had been pushed. It happened suddenly, after 1hr-ish of playing from nowhere :/ But I will try!

  Same here, it has to do with Nvidia/Windows and obviously their need to get those 4-core processor obsolete.
  I even changed my RAM, MB and Graphic card but none of that seems to be related with that problem 😞
  Changing my screen setting to 100Hz has been the only workaround for me, and gosh believe me I tried them all...

@T0toro21What if I have 60hz in default and never changed it? It happened to me same as to @N🤭rg_topmodeLL N🤭rg, like a week ago out of sudden I started having ingame huge like spikes, checked ping as first thought but this was perfectly fine, then noticed 100%cpu/gpu usage..
