Apex PC won't launch: Javelin false positive, Driver Verifier is OFF

Platform: PC (Windows 10 22H2, build 19045.5737, Steam version)

Region: China

GPU: RTX 3060 Ti, driver 616.92 WHQL (clean install)

Error: "Security Violation – cannot run with Driver Verifier enabled"

Session ID: gH0yAHyz5rDx2dju5M3KGIB3Eqa50/hUH1pUulFfpbm0nYI3

 

Apex Legends will not launch at all. The Javelin popup appears

immediately when I start the game. This began with the Javelin

migration (September 29). The same PC, same drivers and same OS ran

Apex normally with Easy Anti-Cheat for years.

 

Why I am confident this is a FALSE POSITIVE:

 

Driver Verifier is NOT enabled on this system. I verified this four

independent ways, including after a full shutdown and reboot:

 

1. verifier /querysettings -> reports Driver Verifier is not enabled

2. verifier /reset -> completes, no verification settings

3. bcdedit /enum {current} -> no /verifier entries present

4. Registry check under

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

-> VerifyDriverLevel / VerifyDrivers not present

 

Already ruled out on my side:

- No third-party antivirus or security software

- No kernel-level drivers from EA's known-incompatible list

- All overlays disabled (no RTSS, no OSD tools, no Discord/Steam overlay)

- Clean boot (msconfig) -> same error

- Verified game files, reinstalled Apex, reinstalled EA app -> same error

- CPU at stock, no overclocking

- Windows updated to the last available build for this OS

 

My account is NOT banned or suspended. The game simply will not launch.

 

Other players report the same error on these forums. I cannot open an

EA Help case because every topic returns "This issue isn't supported

by advisors".

 

Could this please be forwarded to the Javelin anticheat team together

with the session ID above? Thank you.
