Apex Legends won't start after EasyAntiCheat loading (Windows 11)

Hello everyone! So I installed Windows 11 (2 days ago) and I started having this problem with Apex : I launch Origin, then I launch the game, the "EasyAntiCheat" loading starts, finishes, but then n...

    EasyAntiCheat is currently not working in Windows 11.  Tried it with many different games.  Sadly only way to get them working is revert to windows 10, no game reinstall required, we just have to wait for the devs to get to the issue.

Well, the recent post I made was not correct. 

Here is the fix that worked for me:

well F^% me.. i found the fix...
when and if you update to windows 11

opens settings, search for 'Controlled Folder access'

and then add Apex and Easy Anti-cheat

Too bad EA couldn't figure it out after multiple tickets and 2 months of wait time

Wish that worked for me in Windows 11, but controlled folder access wasn't enabled.  I tried turning it on and adding EAC and Apex as Allowed App but that didn't work either.  Same launch but no launch issue as you.

Win 11

i9 12900 KF

RTX 3080

32gb DDR 5 6000mhz

Kingston 2tb PCIe4x4/NVMe, SSD

I guess Apex is 'old' by today's standards... Next! >>>>

    @NWeSource An update on Thursday has made this issue crop up again, but it's not tied to OS -- people reporting it on W7/8/10/11. There's a pinned post on this forum that's tracking it but still no resolutions from EA.

      I have also ran into this issue. Possibly from the most recent update. I tried contacting the EA HELP group but no one was able to help. I have done everything under the sun to solve this - nothing works.

      Thanks!  So STEAM solved the problem for me oddly enough... neither Origin or the EA App, clean installs on a brand new computer with Windows 11, worked... but uninstalling Apex and then a clean / first install of Steam and then Apex Legends through Steam did work for me with no additional tweaks.

    @NWeSourceSame issue since like last week, definitely not going to do anything else as the issue is on their end. Tried DDU, rolling back updates, repair EAC, moved to steam, disabled onboard gpu, disabled hardware gpu scheduling, disabled REBAR to test + a lot more. Apex tries to open, hangs in task manager at 240ishMB ram usage and then closes out. Interesting issue but not at all surprising with such an extremely buggy and broken game. Maybe they will get it right with the next major release but I'm not holding by breath. EDIT I have similar hardware as you so maybe it has something to do with the little/big architecture > 12700k on DDR4 with a 3060.

      @Xecuter2-_-TTV The plot thickens, debugging their own app for them, amazing.

      bad coding for new architecture seems likely, will poke in bios for NX settings

        @Xecuter2-_-TTV That looks you're going in head first 😃 ... I'm just surprised and glad Steam worked for me... you try that yet?
