    I only logged it to answer you, I had the same issues yesterday, it's easy anti cheat, not closing on windows 11 25h2, you have to downgrade to older windows like 23h2, which known to be stable, today I freshly formated my PC and installed windows 11 23h2, I don't have this bug anymore but same high CPU temperature I saw in 25h2, and no I don't have cooling issues, I play other games fine like battlefield 6 which is also EA game with easy anti cheat, so it's 100% apex issues, I think they are telling to leave this game...

    here some screenshot while the game is closed but not really:

    edit: windows 11 23h2 did not help at all, i got the same issue, eac get stuck after playing for some time, fully closing apex wont be possible, and stays like in the screenshot above, i tried to use latest windows again 25h2 and installed only the things needed to play apex, motherboard chipset, nvidia driver, steam, and apex and nothing else, not even a browser or discord, and got the same issue..
