Error 0x8000001, now stuttering and unable to open EasyAntiCheat set up

 was getting an error code for 0x8000001. Which is for missing files/ easy anti cheat. I then contacted support and it turns out I needed to update my network driver. So I did and now the game no longer freezes, but it stutters every 5 seconds.

My ping does not spike, I don’t lose frames, it’s like my game just glitches for a second. I’ve tried to run the game for 45 minutes to see if it stopped and it does not.

Now I’m reading about opening easy anti cheat, and repairing Apex. But every time I try to open easy anti cheat it comes up for a millisecond, then closes out. I’ve tried the .bat install file, and uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I’ve updated windows, my drivers, my bios, turned off all overlays, disabled razer programs, NVIDIA overlays and discord overlay and turning off any anti virus, I’ve changed my mouse poll rate, and my in game settings of course as well, and also set all permissions for apex, steam, and easy anti cheat, and NOTHING is fixing it. I’m at the point where I’m either going to factory reset my PC, or just stop playing games with easy anti cheat. Someone please save me and my sanity lol.

    To add on to you on what I did:

    • I checked the PC processors, it didnt seem that the GPU nor CPU (none of the hardware) were overworking.
    • Tried to DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc/scannow on the commands, did not find anything wrong
    • running DX12 and 11, and using start up commands in the steam apex legends startup menu.
    • Tried deleting Easy anti cheat entirely, and reinstalling apex, still won’t open. (Opens for a millisecond then closes out automatically.)

    my PC Specs are:

    • 32g of ram
    • 4070ti 
    • ryzen 9 5900x
    • 1tb ssd
