When I saw this error in the past @atomiczxr it was related to an issue with Easy Anti-Cheat. I solved it on my system by adding EAC to my anti-virus white list.
Best thing I can recommend @atomiczxr is taking a couple of minutes to go through the steps here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Easy-Anti-Cheat-troubleshooting-steps/td-p/7437695

I tried every thing,anti virus is already disabled,even origin clean up won't run.
Do you think reinstalling the game or updating my win 8.1 to 10 will solve this problem ?

Those on Windows 8.1 were able to play after a couple quick Microsoft downloads. Check out the solution here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/fix-r5apex-exe-win-8-1/m-p/7435727/highlight/true#M4449
Have you tried disabling Windows Defender to see if you can launch it? That way you can see if it's related to that.

And one more thing apex would't launch even if i try to run the game manually through the desktop icon.
