Hi y0naikiri,
Thanks for reaching out.
“Untrusted system file” usually means Easy Anti-Cheat detected a system file or driver that it couldn’t verify properly. Even if the file is related to your CPU or hardware, it can still cause issues if the driver is outdated, corrupted, or conflicting with EAC.
Please try the following steps:
- Update Windows and your chipset/CPU drivers from your motherboard or device manufacturer’s official website.
- Run these commands as Administrator, then restart your PC:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow - Repair Easy Anti-Cheat from the Apex Legends install folder.
- Verify the game files through Steam or the EA App.
- Temporarily close overlays, monitoring tools, RGB software, overclocking tools, VPNs, or third-party antivirus programs.
If it still happens, please reply with the exact file path shown in the “Untrusted system file” message, your Windows version, and whether you’re playing through Steam or the EA App.
