Forum Discussion
If you have an intel 2 quad processor you can try every single fix on the internet right now, it won’t work. The only thing to do if you get the POPCNT error message is just wait for EA to remove it or buy another processor.
I was seeing and POPCNT is just to prevent pirate games, which is stupid considering that Apex is a free game... Now we’re going to see if EA really cares about their customers.
Found something that worked for me!
I tried 7 of these solutions, retrying between each one, and none of them worked. Then I tried the solution suggested by HeKeRiax and it worked!
HeKeRiax solution: Don't uninstall Origin, just go to the website and download the OriginThinSetup.exe and reinstall over top of your existing install.

FYI I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a Core i7-4790k
Other solutions I tried, in case one or two of them are necessary for you:
"Language Change" workaround for Apex Legends
Repair Install of Apex Legends
Update graphics drivers to latest version
Update Origin to latest version
Clear Origin Cache
Check that you have the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redist Versions 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 (BOTH x86 and x64 versions of each year)
Disable Windows Defender / Microsoft Security Essentials / Antivirus Scanner and try to launch (then re-enable!)
Good luck!
